Lucy, my wonderful beagle: the vet we went to the other day said, don't bother doing surgery on the hematoma in her ear. She's too old and better to see if it goes away on its own.

Her symptoms are drinking water all day long and peeing often and occasionally in the house (which she has never done in her life.)

It would be nice if they gave awards for more important things and if these actors stopped talking about "how lucky they are to do what they love" (and make so much money doing it.) It's very very annoying.
President Obama's speech: He's an amazing speaker, he cheered me up although I have no idea how he's going to accomplish all that he's talking about. I just like him and I have to believe that some of it is possible.
I went to a workshop yesterday about helping people learn public speaking and it was interesting. I'm going to see where it leads.
