"We May Be Crazy, But We Have Our Sh*t Together."

Yes, today I overheard a tough-minded high school girl raising the bar for crazy people. Previously I'd thought that being "crazy" for a little (or long) while was an explanation for regrettable lapses in judgment and performance. But apparently there's a strain of competence in the crazy community. I was going to explain my absence from this blog for the past few ice ages by letting you know that I'd been a little crazy for the last few months. Now I'm going to have to hunt down that overachieving hellcat and ask her how she suggests that I explain it. Sheesh.

The gratuitous photos here are some of many lovely images created by the phenomenal photgrapher Rachel Watson. She put out a call for people to model with their pets and you know I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to immortalize Monte's comeliness. Look carefully and you can see Monte holding my fingertip, his tiny, affectionate way of holding my hand.
