In honor of my mom's broken ankle

Mom fell broke ankle
ouch! Here I am to help - Yay!
Ugg - cold. Bad timing.

Homeless and now home again

It seems like, just for fun, once a year or so, the cyber-gods and deities of webdom, gather together on their virtual reality version of mount Olympus and gab about where to do good and where to inflict pain and suffering. And, while life for me, or at least, cyber life, is pretty, good, once a year, at this goddly gathering, I can't seem to dodge a particularly pointy pixelated thunderbolt that comes shooting down and stabs my website right through it's little html heart. Once a year my website gets deleted. Maybe the gods are up there clicking their coded glasses in their high altitude snow lodge,and thinking it serves me right for not updating my site often enough, or maybe they're cursing me for my bad code. Either way, twice so far, my website, the whole thing, down to meta tags has gone *Poof* and disappeared from its server. If there's any consolation though, the gods did it, not me.

I'm now back - again, and all the creatures at Sohosally: the cats, the farmbots, the battle pigeons and the showgirl above have a home again. All is peaceful and pixelated.

Because Jesus Drives an SUV

Overheard just now on my way to the Deli.

The scene: Three youngish people, stopped at a red light in an SUV.
As the light turns green the female driver steps on the steps on the gas and says: " I don't care who you are - if you don't believe in god, you're a fucking asshole!"

Mr. Softee - it's a love/hate thing.

New story on New York's new noise code. Listen here.

Title IX (that's "Title 9" for all of you out there who, like me, don't know their Roman numerals)

New story
Hundreds of U.S. schools are using changes made to the federal Title IX law last fall to extend boys- and girls-only classes beyond gym and sex ed. But critics say that could lead to the very stereotyping and discrimination the law's meant to prevent. Sally Herships reports.

Holly -new and improved ( I hope). Also now with more Lily.

Here are some new Holly sketches that I've been working on. First is my favorite:

Then of course we have the ubiquitous NYC therapist and the necessary after-therapy therapeutic cocktail:

Also - I think I'd like to name Holly Lily. Lily. What do you think?

***** Important note!
Daisy not going anywhere.


These sketches are just me trying to nail down Holly/Lily/whatever her name is.

Up up and away!
