LIFE IS JUST A COWL OF BERRIES.

A couple of totally different things: from the ridiculous to the sublime.

First and foremost on the sublime side just a heartfelt and very profound wish of happiness and contentment to my friend Lauren Hoffaman on the occasion of the birth of a daughter.

A seriously fine musician with more shear guts than nine tenths of those who claim the title, and one of the best listeners this sorry old fart has met in many a year. I have no doubts she'll be as wonderful a mother as she is an artist. Blessings my friend.

Now to the truly stupid.

THE COMICS FOOD CHAIN.

The Eight Hundred Pound Gorillas

a rare breed as there are only three or four of them. it's difficult to tell as this quarters numbers aren't in yet. it can vary.

they get all the best and most of the bananas mango's pineapples tasty roots, shoots and the like.

approach with caution. outwardly placid they are utterly voracious.

The Chimps.

quiet a few of them actually, though not as many as it may seem as they tend to hoot, whistle, yap, stomp and generally make a scene. it can be hard getting your share of bananas and whatnot after the "big guys" have been in the area. be careful of them in close quarters, as they tend to hold a grudge.

The Wee Little Squirrel Monkeys.

a sad lot really. they are quiet shy and subsist on the leavings of both the Eight hundred pound gorillas and the Chimps. Clever little monkeys though. they tend to be really resourceful and proud of just squeaking by. yeah, they have their heads up their asses a lot. But, they do make do.

The Lemurs.

they don't count. they had a brief moment of flourish in the sixties but hey, all that midnight madness, and the population dropped off rapidly.

This delightful group is surrounded by a lot of parrots, brightly colored and really stupid as they just, well, parrot back what they hear from the various goings on in the jungle. They also have a tendency to get it all wrong. "Biff Bam Pow" anyone?

Ok, just a little bad satire....it's my blog. *wink*

Now, finally, I think I'll have part three of "endlessly" over at the working blog later.

Maybe.

Be kind.
