She did normal dog things too – she would play ball until my arm was tired, chased her tail till she was dizzy, and loved to burrow in the snow. She stayed a puppy as long as she could, but in the end she was just plain tired. Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them,. Filling an emptiness we don't even know we have.". I’ll just cry for both of us. I am my own ...

Another thought I had while watching the terror unfold was of people’s response to the event. You see some running away in fear, and some rushing in to help.

The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps. Of withered leaves about your feet. And newspapers from vacant lots;. On broken blinds and chimney-pots,. And at the corner of the street. A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps. The morning comes to consciousness.

The Purple Calla Lilly. I'm a writer. It's who I am. It's what I do. Saturday, August 24, 2013. I wrote a book. I can't believe I freaking did it! Now comes the truly excruciating part - editing.

I'm actually amazed anyone gets anything done in this book with everything they do being so slight. He says, moving slightly.
