Stacey, Nikki and Christine, thank you for all of your input. We still have him, and now have heard that the whole family moved and just left all their dogs there. I'm not sure of how true that is, but if it is, I'm glad we got him when we did.

I have a weird sadness about Michael Jackson. I never knew what I believed about the child molestation accusations. I just know that regardless of anything else he seemed to be such a tortured soul. And that is no way to go through life. Anna Nicole, Heath Ledger, and now Michael - I think someone needs to start holding these docs responsible. I like the way Dr. Feelgood split after CPR didn't work, and how they had to tow his car. Nice. And I have to admit, he was an amazing musician and performer. But it really bugs me that someone can be the butt of so many jokes, get such bad press and even do bad things in life, and as soon as they die they like achieve angelic status and everyone talks about them like they are Ghandi or something.

And another politician with another girlfriend. Blah blah. Please. They all do it, he just got caught. At least his wife didn't have cancer this time. And I love his wife. When asked about it she didn't turn into some sobbing ridiculous blob with a box of tissues who is going to "stand by her man"; she stated his career was no concern to her and she will not only survive but will thrive, with or without him. I thought we put smart people in office? Guys are so stupid. Wait - that should be politicians. Now if Michelle Obama found out Barrack was cheating, I think she'd go all Old School and Postal on him with a belt in the middle of the street, chasing his black ass down.

My Tyler is turning 17 on Monday.
Can you even believe it? I feel so old.
I've got to quit looking old though.
Changes are happening.
