Hello, Saturday. Jake Sat on My Lap Letting Me Know He Misses Glamis The Wonder Dog (and Then The Animals Were Slaughtered 16-1)

The Animals of Companion Animal Hospital had their first game last night following a grueling week. Crandall didn't get any play time, but was happy to keep the bench warm as score keeper as Crandall Jr. played left field and is in need of a batting cage.

It was a great way to end the week after a Friday full of ZOOM conference calls, district coordinations, and advising. This followed with a visit to Walnut Beach to see the mayor who wanted to sit on my lap and lick the inside of my ears. This was his way of saying he's been thinking of Glamis, too.

Meanwhile, in Rochester, New York, a friend posted the photo of a neighbor's 9 month old puppy who is need of a new forever home, and he looked liked Tizzy, but was named Dusty. In the magical thinking of Crandall's brain, I wondered, "hmmm. is this a sign of possibilities," Stay tuned. We just never know. 

The poetic prompt from #verselove was to choose a perspective not our own and to write politically as an advocate. This was easy, as the night before I took part in a National Writing Project meeting where the write-out prompt asked for the same, showcasing a mural in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's the weekend, I'm fried, and I'm hoping not to be on ZOOM for two days. Meanwhile, here's the poem...one written with the singing of Jayanthi Kyle in mind.
