1. I am up at 5am hand feeding The Bird, and one of the dogs, Penni, blueberries. Penni and The Bird share a love for blueberries, and roasted peanets. The peanuts I deshell for the bird, and feed her just the nut, while the dog likes to get the whole peanut.
   
   Joan started my day by giving me one of those good sugar kisses that she gives to me so often. Janis Joplin once sang that, "You only gotta do one thing well, You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe. You got a woman waiting for you there, All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman And that'll be the end of the road, babe."
   
   I am blessed.
