Whether you hate the main word of this song (I happen to despise it) the sentiment of making a previous lover jealous runs deep in our culture. It gives and causes just as much healing as it creates drama and pain. In three interconnected novels, “Holiday Fatigue,” “Impulse Control,” and “impulse caught,” jealousy causes so much drama that a long-established couple are put at risk and a new couple might not make it to their happily-ever-after.

In early May, my wife and I went to see the Botanic Gardens. We brought our service dogs, FAB (my wife’s white party poodle) and RAWH (my guide dog). Today’s all about showing them off.     This last one is of RAWH actually staring at the camera. Since he’s very much *not* a publicity seeker, it was a rare opportunity. This was on the 2 nd of May before we left for the gardens.

There’s this great and cheesy movie from the 1990s called Quest for Camelot. Get it? They’re on a quest and they wanted, in former times, to get to Camelot. It’s a cartoon and features a woman who wants to become a knight and a blind man who once worked in the royal stables. Most of the music is cheesy as heck, but I happen to like “I Stand Alone” which is sung by the blind guy. It reminds me of Aidan Delaney, from my Heartwood box set.
