time for a little rest.

and what better place than the little ol' town of st. louis.

i am here for just a few short weeks doing a bit of dog sitting. keeping myself busy also with repainting the kids rooms. it is a quiet brick house. with a little garden in the back where i have made good friends with a family of butterflys and too many tweetiebirds to count. it is hot, just like they say. but coming from vegas, anywhere seems breezy. the nights here are just perfect. i have made a routine of corn on the cob and a cold brewski to end the day. it seems fitting...

have done some fun things... lets see. church downtown at a beautiful anglican cathedral. cardinals game (beat the braves, 4-1)... little stroll through the botanical gardens... the annual st louis midnight ramble (where we joined 10,000 other folks for a little ride around town. free beer and custard after. what could be better than that!)... had my first authentic afgahni dinner. it was incredible.

anne just got back last night from seattle. i am really looking forward to doing some tacky touristy things with an old pal. today we are going to visit the anheuser bush brewery. take a tour, pet the clydesdales, partake in a complimentary pint.

life with indiana is getting better. for those who dont know, she was not liking me all that much. ie, refuses to be on the same floor as i am. if i go up, she goes down. i go down, she goes up. to the point where she anticipates it and flys past me on the steps every time... ahhh, she is an insanely complicated creature, but lets get real here, who isnt.

okay. off to the races.
ladeda.
