The Bird Took A Bath Today!

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 [...]

Two days ago, maybe?
The only good thing about humidity is it makes your skin look absolutely fabulous. All of that moisture.
Otherwise, it is a misery, but the beauty is, summer only lasts for two months around here.
The forest that is our lot is so old, the leaves are really too big to fully understand when [...]

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 [...]
The Bird Enjoyed North Platte.

Arriving just in time for dinner.
One would not think it was possible to transport two cats and a crow across country, but I have to say, The Bob behaved better than most peoples human children. How many crows can say they stayed in seven motels and drove through ten states in the dead heat [...]
Okay, Mrs. C., I Feel You Laughing.

I started a post on my old friend and employer, Mrs. C, full name – Dr. Marjorie Carpenter, and managed to accidentally delete it. Twice. I have a feeling I was being too maudlin, and her ghost would have none of that.
Where to start? She was unique in her wrath and tenacity, long after it [...]
Christmas Eve

I am not really much of a Christmas Person. This is not set in stone, it does not define who I am or am not, it is just an overall generalization.
The Holiday season seems to rouse otherwise dormant little elves who come bearing gifts of “what could have” and “what might have been”. They are [...]
