Anne Frank sends me a postcard from the Cleveland Zoo:
The female lion recenly died of kidney failure, the penguin exhibit was being renovated, and there were about 1,000 Amish people without deodorant.  The zoo was great!  AF :)

DM via fbook:
DM: It's the first day of summer and we still don't have a house... F. We seem to be lacking in the group bbqs, dinners, "hanging of the outs" department this year. I'd blame life, but he usually has an alibi.
L: i blame the economy.  and the gangs of chiuauas terrorizing my neighborhood.  and sometimes justin beiber.
