Three Beautiful Things 07/29/09: Jane! OMG, Snug Chillin’, Deke in Denton

1. Out of nowhere, Jane, a friend from thirty-six years ago, from my days as a student at North Idaho College, appeared in my Facebook life and we had a series of wondrous conversations about, among other things, people we knew, old friends who have passed away, dogs, writing, and what we've been doing all these years to get to where we are today. Simply put: scintillating.
   
2. Today, I sometimes envied Snug's instincts for finding cool places in the house in the midst of the current heat wave, especially because most of them were on the floor where he could lie and relax and stay below the heat.
   
3. The Deke is working her ass off to help Molly and Hiram and Olivia in Denton, TX and I've appreciated her emails and our telephone conversations, appreciated being kept abreast of how any number of tasks and difficult challenges are going. The best news: Olivia is doing great.
