there were five people and five dogs here this morning and i too zero pictures i guess i was immersed and now i wonder what do i remember without them.

i remember asking mm do you think i'm cynical and sara saying i don't think you're cynical, i think you're idealistic, and she may have said more but i said, yeah, and i keep bumping into this cynical reality. 

later i thought about dogs and children, as is my wont, and it occured to me they are both concerned with fairness (and opportunity), and it's in adulthood that concern gets ossified by experience and becomes idealism, and often crushing cynicism. but dogs and kids they do bring you back. don't they?
