I was asleep 
 Toonman's coming to bed likely woke my bladder 
which in turn woke me.  
As I snuggled back under the sheets blankets down comforters 
- the bedroom is frickin' freezing -

feeding the cats

The news Monday evening, is all about Sept 11 
its 10th year anniversary 
an interview with Mayor Guiliani 
who gave President Obama props.  

I noticed not many bloggers mentioning this
I hesitated posting it
but I am/did

I want to know what you think.
