Off to luncheon and the theatre. Jesus, but I hate this Men's Chorus work! Whatever idiot on the Board of Directors agreed to do this Big Band concert with a small combo and no synth to fill in the holes? A big A-hole, that's what!

SNICKERS THE PUPPY RESCUED AFTER DRIFTING AT SEA, SCAVENGING ON PACIFIC ATOLL
Friday , April 18, 2008
 
Snickers is only eight months old.
But the cocker spaniel already has spent three months adrift on a 48-foot boat and survived four months on a tiny Pacific atoll where his owners, Jerry and Darla Merrow of California, left him when they were rescued by a cargo vessel.

The report said the Merrows' catamaran developed mast problems after setting out from California. In the first week of December, the vessel finally drifted to Fanning Island, a populated but tiny atoll about 1,000 miles south of Hawaii. It hit a reef and the couple swam 200 yards to shore with Snickers and their macaw named Gulliver.

The pets were left in the care of some islanders, but Baurile said the animals apparently weren't cared for very well, "because they don't have the same concept of what pets are."

Joslin said the bird was being taken of, but the dog was actually "left to fend for itself."

Snickers got a trim and flea treatment before boarding the cruise ship. Getting the canine cleared for travel involved the Hawaiian Humane Society, state agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security.

The pup was living in luxury for the last week as the first pet on the Pride of Aloha. He was a little uneasy with all the attention but he is a much different dog now than when the cruise ship first came to his rescue, according to crew members.

"[He was] very unsure of himself and a little bit suspicious of people and it was amazing how just in the course of the first 24 hours and day by day he turned right around," Hoyt said.
The cruise may be over but the crew won't soon forget the pooch they pampered.

It did snow early last evening at around 6:00, but it didn't stick and it didn't last more than a few minutes.  It was kind of weird to see the snow coming down; and at the same time, have bright sunshine coming from the horizon.

I watched a horror film (really not a horror film) last evening from Netflix Online entitled, THE CAT AND THE CANARY.  It was a really enjoyable 90 minutes starring Carol Lynley, Michael Callan, Edward Fox, Daniel Massey, Wendy Hiller; with Honor Blackman and Olivia Hussey as the Lesbians.  It was a delight.  Now I want to see the Bob Hope version from 1939.

I'm feeling semi out-of-sorts.  Don't know why, exactly.

I have to tell you that I'm still experiencing numbness in my lips and bit of my left facial cheek.  It's really quite strange more than 12 hours after the last shot.

Thanks to those who offered vibes.  Much appreciated.

I get off work at 2:00 p.m. (the advantage of starting work at 5:30 a.m.).  Lord knows what time George gets off work.  He is a night owl.

My time is quite flexible. ;) I could even take the day off.  That would probably be easier for me, anyway.

It is snowing here this morning...which in the middle of April is just so wrong!

And in Olympia!!  Here's a picture looking out of my skylight this morning:



It's all melting now, though. :-\

On the happier side:
