Zoey Update:

Message from WW: "Good morning!! Had to send you this

She took her baby out to tan with her today.
I performed the 8th surgery on her unicorn yesterday. 

Sewed up the back leg for the second time.
The poor thing lost its horn, an eye, the mane, the tail and back 

legs have been reconnected a few times.  She loves this baby."

Baby Zoey

This Acorn Woodpecker is stashing away its acorn hoard in a Granary Tree (trees typically used as storage). There’s a sycamore tree in California, used by acorn woodpeckers as an acorn “granary”, that holds an estimated 20,000 acorns and the acorns have not killed the tree!

FB Throwback Thursday ...

Overnight Training at Demura Sensei's old Hombu dojo, 1980.

A sign of the times. We used to keep the kids overnight, training till 1 or 2 am, then showing them Karate tournaments and movies until they begged to climb into their sleeping bags. Up early, cleaned the dojo, then ran around the block to Squires for a pancake breakfast. 

We were all very mellow by then.

Smiles for Thursday ...

Today, another ninja delivered!

Ninja Julie Nomura, my hairdresser, made a 

delivery of hair color supplies with directions.  

I usually go to her every five or six weeks, 

but I've been AWOL since February 18th.

I didn't know this service was available, but

Julie is kind and made mercy trips to her clients.

Thank you Julie1

I am sitting in my office, looking out at the primarily white sky.

If I hurry I might be able to photograph a patch of blue.

 

I did. And now the sky is solid white.

Today is special. 47 years ago WonderWoman was born. 

 



We didn't know whether we would have a boy or a girl?

I know my hair was in two long ponytails with blue ribbons. 

And our world changed in all ways wonderful. 

     

       Happy Birthday!
   WONDERWOMAN!

A feel-good story ...

Officer Michael Rivers and Michelle, who shared an eye-opening meal on a roadside in North Carolina. Rivers was driving by when he noticed a homeless woman he had never seen before, and read her shirt: "Homeless. The fastest way of becoming a nobody." The officer drove on, but something moved him to turn around and ask if the woman had eaten yet. She said no, so he grabbed a few pizzas and took a seat next to her to break bread and share some conversation. The woman said her name was Michelle, and the pair talked about her family and her 12-year-old daughter, who is battling liver disease. Someone took a photo of the moment and shared it on social media, where thousands of people offered support and well-wishes to Rivers for his kindness, and Michelle for her powerful message about the realities of homelessness.
