So daughter Ariann had her birthday party today. She's 7 on the 10th, or Tuesday. We had a highly successful pirate-themed party -- her first crush is on Johnny Depp, as Captain Jack Sparrow, in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. And I remember when it was just a ride at Disneyland ... anyway, if you see gray hairs on my head in the near future, well, that's why.
As I mentioned 2 days ago, the last time I rode my bike, I went for about 24 minutes, including cooldown. Two days ago I went for 49 minutes, and today I went for forty-six. That's right, 46. And today I felt like I didn't do "that much."
And finally, here's an invitation, because I think some of you need it.
Give me a subject, and I'll write a poem about it.
I'll write something when I'm able to, no later than the end of the year. And if I don't post it here, then I'll send it to you personally. Length of poem, format, etc. are all at my discretion. You might get a long freeverse poem, you might get haiku. My reasoning? I usually write about personal stuff, but right at the moment I want to branch out.
And thank you all for the naming help (previous post). I haven't come up with one yet, but we'll see. It's a slow heat, but something's about to boil.
body,
ariann,
