I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks, slow-moving trains, and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams, sunday school in may,
And hay
And I love you too

I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends, birds in the world, and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass and I love you too

I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine, and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try, music when it’s good, and life
And I love you too

I like this Joe Famous cat so much I don't even belive he is real yet.

Also, I don't ever seem to like ANYTHING thepinksuperhero does. Therefore, I think we would get along famously and I would love her to pieces.

I don't have time to note anything further at the moment. "soup" is the only thing that springs to mind.

I like this sort of thing, and I particularly like Shane and Mr. Odell, who sell such stuff on TV. You may have seen them, late at night.

Hey taz, I started the Rhodes book (Durrell's Reflections on a Marine Venus) and I'm already half done; it's incredible and I'm sure I'll review it, quoting liberally, sometime soon. Have you been to Rhodes? 'Cos I think you could do a Durrell walkaround (and sailaround) the way folks do Joyce in Dublin.

Anyway.

Stuff I like, for realsies:

Buster Keaton
reading non-fiction (I haven’t been able to get into fiction since about 1992)
making Science Girl laugh
