It seems to me that too many people are having such a hard time these days. Health issues, financial trouble, family and relationship problems. I look around and all I see is sadness and I can't make sense of it.
I can only hope that the state of things is temporary.

Anyway, many stressful hours and calls later, they called and we were reunited with Doc. Welcome home, boy!
Oh, and it turns out he headed for the local Taco Bell! A dog after my own heart. The man at the nearby nursery got a hold of him as he was preparing to run into traffic.
Here's the man himself:

I took the kids to the Bronx Zoo today. We had a great time. My absolute favorite spot was The Butterfly Garden. Its a large indoor flower garden with thousands of butterflies flying around. Not your normal everyday butterflies (those are there too) but butterflies in every shape, size and color. The flowers were gorgeous and they had soothing classical music playing. It was perfect after traipsing around all day looking at gorillas, tigers, camels, giraffes(yay!)... and spiders (not yay).
The one above had a 4 inch wingspan
This one was even larger!
Don't let the calm, cool exterior fool you. He would have eaten us in a minute if given the chance.
Eric thought he was pretty funny pretending he was being carried away as food.
. 
The kids got the chance to ride the camels. Pretty cool.
We had a great time, lots of beach and sun and even got to a Moody Blues concert. Even so, I am glad to be back. Here's a pic of me and hubby. Yes, he is wearing a Captain America shirt. Sometimes its like living with a kid. (Most days he insisted on wearing his Yankee shirt just to antagonize the Red Sox people. We were in enemy territory so we got more than a few dirty looks):
Unfortunately, our pet hedgehog died while we were gone. My poor niece feels responsible but I assured her it was just his time to go.
Good-bye, Sonic. We will miss you.
Its moments like these that make me feel honored to do what I am doing, even though it can be thankless and frustrating.

I am modest, flexible and inquisitive, but by no means solitary. I can't be even if I wanted to with 3 kids and a husband around :0
Whenever a movie is made from a book I have read, I fear the worst because my imagination will invariably be different from those making the movie and I am usually disappointed with the film. Still, it will be worth checking out.

The other thing that bothers me is why is JB's family so silent on his life, both the triumphs and the struggles? Were any of them at the book launch? People around the world applaud JB and yet, his family remains invisible. His son is a novelist, for goodness sake. I just wonder what their thought process is, that's all. Privacy is important to some more than others, but....
It anyone has some insight, I would love to hear it. Maybe I am way off base here.

The fortune in my fortune cookie tha other night kind of weirded me out a little:
"You can see a lot just by looking."
Sounds like something Holmes would say.
