Hello my fellow crow fans and assorted others, human and higher beings,
Again, my apologies for the delay, but there was a terrible legal hassle I had to go through with my boss. I do not consider Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue, An American Life” a book.

I am one happy crow. My mother is finally starting to understand me when I speak. Today is a great example – she noticed my drinking cup was a little bit low, and she threw the old water out, washed the cup, and put in nice fresh water. For all of her flaws, and there [...]

The Parents were gone for 24 hours. They went roaring out of the house in the middle of the night on Friday, and came back after one a.m. on Saturday – I mean Sunday morning.
The bird gets confused with the humans whole “time” thing. For me, it is morning, then it is afternoon, then it [...]

Summer is hard everywhere. My birthday is August 15th – when I try to find compassion, sympathy and understanding for my mother, what caused her to hate and abuse me, I figure she was not in the greatest spirits because she was in her last tri-mester in Summer, and flung me out in the dog [...]

For those of you who read the other blogs, you are well aware that, starting March third of this year, I had a health issue that culminated in surgery to remove an unruly fallopian tube. The fancy name for it is serous cystadenofibroma, I call it organ misbehavior. The fallopian tube started growing [...]

There was a rabbit. He was running around in Koreatown, Los Angeles, where I was teaching English as as Second Language.
It was July 9th, ten months after my father, Bill Mahan, died. July 9th happened to be Bill’s birthday.
I saw all of the students, of every level, yelling in their native language and running around [...]
Robert the Crow Nearly Died

He was hopping around, when he saw this on my laptop.
It takes a mighty storm to scare Robert. I really have to stop with having certain politicians so easily accessible to my kids. Hide them in the porn closet, I guess.

But I have to yap in spite of it. Renee Tracy is my best friend, we have known each other for 24 years under very strange circumstances. When I married my first husband, Scott Grusin, she and her fiancee Scott Warner and their infant daughter Rio came to the wedding. I knew Scott Warner from [...]
