Is anyone else having issues with WP today?
All I’m getting is blank pages without links to new posts and comments.
No easy way to get from “here” to “there” since I can’t open my subscription links either.
Hopefully, it will be sorted out soon. Until then, may the force be with you.

On Saturday, Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day, we returned to Ringling Museum to tour a new wing of the Tibbals Learning Center & Circus Museum:
While there, we enjoyed a special treat . . . meeting Gandhi:
A 4-month-old Tiger Cub visiting from Big Cat Habitat in Sarasota, FL:
Big Cat Habitat, a Gulf Coast Sanctuary, educates the public about the need to preserve natural habitat for wild animals like Gandhi:
On a related note . . . remember this Big Cat from our last visit to Ringling?
Handcarved by volunteers at the museum, this tiger’s mouth detail involved taking a dental plate from a tiger at the Big Cat Habitat & Gulf Coast Sanctuary (while it was under anesthesia for another procedure).
My . . . what big teeth you have!
Music Monday: Dancing In The Dark September 26, 2011

Procrastination
Shuffling random paper piles
Out of sheer ennui
The sun emerges
Chasing idle cares away
Work will have to wait
Dancing on the deck
Decked out in t-shirt and shorts
This is where it’s at
It’s hard to be sad
In a life filled with laughter
Smiles displace frowns
Spirit and music
A life less ordinary
Melodies resound
Celebrating life
Being at one with the world
Dancing in the dark
