Happy St. Patrick's Day!  We're watching Leap Year to celebrate!  Not really.  It's just a coincidence that L happened to rent it with her friend last night, but they fell asleep almost as soon as they began it.  If you don't know, it's cute story about a girl who goes to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend.

Anyway, this day was partly hard -- more on that in Small Dog -- but had some happy moments too.  Again, there are two happies.

One was playing with a German Shepherd puppy with R at a pet store at the mall while we waited for his glasses to be made at LensCrafters.  Cute little guy had a thing for my flip flop, and he had sharp little teeth!  We named him Luther.

And the more significant happy moment came at our benefit dinner.  I made the executive decision to support a young Ugandan boy named Robert S.  T is still out of town, but I knew he would never have left that dinner without taking one of the kids.  He probably would have taken on more than one. Robert is 10 years old and will now be able to go to school and receive two meals a day through our sponsorship.

And lastly, real quick, here's today's drawing.  It's not done, but I did this much while talking on the phone with my sister.

Can you see what it is?  It is the legs of a ballerina on pointe.  The grid lines are pretty visible -- try to ignore those.
