Love The Dog

"I like gettin' old."
Patti Smith
7:20 boat after client meeting and gym blowout.  Patti Smith on City Arts & Lectures.  Stupid Interviewer:  "Is it relevant that Mapplethorpe was on acid [the night they first spent time together] ?"
Smith, quizzical: "it's relevant if you want it to be."  Just shut up and let her talk.

Quickly slam 20gm whey and wait for the buzz.
On boat, they had jw red, order, "just a little ice", new gal pours a huge one.  Talk about buzz.
Home, lie on bedroom floor.  Rose tries to do a headstand on my chest, leaning into me grunting, she wants ball play, after a bit she gives up, lies on my left arm leaving hand free for chest rub and rolls her lab rump into the face.  Spitting lab hair, such a good dog.
Gettin' old is ok too; gonna happen, may as well enjoy it.
