My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,







Although there wasn't a piano bar with happy hour cocktail franks at this Holiday Inn, there was a club sammich on the menu.

That little piggy toe on my left foot never made any significant contributions to my dreams and aspirations. If it doesn't thaw out soon and it peels away, it will not be missed by the other toes that have shouldered its share of work for far too long. Little piggy toe on the right foot--this is your wake up call.

That's a big burden, thrust on little piggy toe. Does he not contribute to a little balance? Does he not represent a little diversity? Of course, I like the idea that we can travel far without barely moving a foot and so want as much packed into one of those babies as possible.

(Am yak-ing more than usual because I'm doing some heavy duty vicarious-ness and writing this all without breathing so that it's almost like 'just like being there')

Is the rest of you toasty? Is it like British drizzle and there's a cumulative chill that sets in? Do you wish you'd packed a few more warm articles?

Booda--Left piggy toe is aware of the global economic meltdown and the possibility, the necessity of downsizing and redundancies. Last night, under warm blankets, it unthawed and wiggled its way back onto team me.

Sage--polish or no polish, the piggy toe nails do take up twice the time for trimming than all the other toes put together.

The piggy toes really are our special needs toes, aren't they? Big toe does the shopping. Some toes get roast beef, others go without (probably so others can have--co-depend. issues), some stay back and mind the homefront--but that little toe is notorious for bailing on the others, then running home, pissing and moaning the whole time.

Sling--Obama is going to fix this too. It's on his first 90 days to-do list.
