arrrrrrrrrrrrr---hooo-hooo-hoooo-arrrrrrrrrr-ooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu!
Already? It's just 15 min past 5:00 pm here....
Osso, C.J., JBP, welcome.
I'm going to howl for the end of easy weather and the start of six months of starkness in the woods.
I'm going to howl for the ravelling, fraying, eroding that comes with aging.
I'm going to howl for human stupidity and for young people who died before they could grow old.
When I've finished my mourning, I'm going to howl for winter sun and knife blue skies.
I'm going to howl for my accumulation of sustaining memories.
I'll howl again for the children who have died too young.
Hoooo hoooo arouooooo.
Raining here, can't see the moon, howling anyway...awooohooo...
I talked a bit ago with Diane, she was all for this, but not sure she could post. I'll give a goodly howl for her. Well, not to speak for her.
Wait, I have to work up to it, you know I'm shy.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllshhhhhhhhhwhooha//whoo/a/hoooo/ah/ah/flummmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee,flume,flume,flume,shivershivershiver,gasp,(this episode is subject to prevarication... occasionally, but mostly not, you should be so lucky.)
snurf.
Oh, wait, that wasn't a howl for Diane, she'll have to post her own when she is ok with it.
And I will howl for children setting out on their own paths.
I will howl for next steps and big moves.
I will howl for the beauty and serenity of the woods with the proximity of the wild and wondrous metropolis.
I will howl for those things kept inside that can only be my own.
arrrrrrrrrrrrr---hooo-hooo-hoooo-arrrrrrrrrr-ooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu!
I'll howl for women who carry more than their share.
I'll howl for broken promises.
I'll howl for children who have no one to listen to them.
Hoooo. Hooool Arooough.
Well, that last was not my real howl, just a bit of play. My real howls are darker.
Will read back.
And I will howl for those who listen but cannot hear.
I will howl for those who have something to say but cannot speak.
For those who want hope but feel only despair.
For those who have love and feel its embrace.
I'm going to be at work tonight... and on my way home... after all you girls have long been asleep... I'm going to howl one last time for you....because you're so cute.
I've been trying to catch a nap, but it's hard to sleep with all this racket.

Ladies, exhibit A - gustavratzenhover, is the prime example of a
wolf in a sheep skin. Don't mistake his seemingly innocent behavior
for he is just grazing his next victim.
Whoo, we can detect you are correct, CJ. Or, are you.............
Don't doubt me, osso! :wink:
OK, OK, I believe you, cj.
Kicks sand...
My own view is that coyote women are already sleeping peacefully.
Me, I'm coyote and part corgi, so busy blinking.
Here's what I'm bringing. Osso and CJ, does this look like the right recipe?
lentil salad with tomatoes and chevre
Bon Appétit | October 1995
recipe reviews (14) my notes For easier crumbling, chill the cheese before adding it to the salad. The French lentils called for here are sold at specialty foods stores; regular brown lentils can be used, and the cooking time is about the same.
Servings: Serves 6.

that looks complicated...
I just bought the lentils this afternoon (I only had those mung bean pellets..)
back with more attention on the morrow...
Good night, all.
See you next month.
Next month?
I can understand seeing me tomorrow.
or.. avoiding me entirely.
