Me: Beau. It's not polite to stick your tongue out. Beaumont: Louise. It's not polite to invite a she-cat into my home without first consulting me. Me: You would have said no, Zoey couldn't come and stay for the long weekend. Beau: My point exactly. Me: Which is why the 'forgiveness is the best course... Continue Reading →
Happy Father’s Day Dudes!
So.... Louise is sequestered away in her studio working on some top secret project. I'm not even allowed in! Go figure. Does she think I can't be trusted with a secret? Like...

The Guildenstern to my Rosencrantz
Beaumont: Louise. It's time. Me: Uh. huh. Beau: Don't you uh huh me. It's time to get movin'. The park awaits. Me: What do you think I'm doing?

I understand how taking a beloved family pet cannot always be possible, but my heart... Continue Reading →
For Peace
We have silenced the sarcasm today. Dismissed the banter and the pokes. Our world is struggling. For breath. For life. Understanding. Compassion. Tolerance. Peace. Today, Beau asks that we each take time to reflect on war and peace. On what costs us more? To fight for freedom with arms of destruction and bombs falling all... Continue Reading →

The Obstreperous Dawg
Me: So.... Beau.... Beaumont: Oh dear. I always get nervous when you say my name like that. What did I do this time? Me: Don't be silly. Nothing. I just want to talk to you about something.

Rilke and Beau ask too many questions.
Me: Beaumont. You know you're lying on my legs again, like a bridge? Beau: Yah. What of it? Me: Is there a reason? Beau: Do I need a reason to get close to you? Me: You're answering a question with a question. Stop it. Beau: What else am I supposed to do? Your question was... Continue Reading →
