this is one of the first places i pictured lulu when she was a baby and could hardly sit still long enough. now i can take her trappings off and she'll sit as long as i need and give me a range of expressions like a pro just for my thanks and a kiss on the head. 
i seen a bumper sticker saying truth matters. it seems odd that it has to be said. if it matters, does it have to be said and on a bumper sticker that will probably last a couple more occupations?, though the unthinkable may well continue.
