I woke up yesterday morning to the sound of chainsaws and a huge bucket truck murdering beautiful 100 year old pine trees across the street. Our new neighbors are clear cutting the lot that our realtor...

...thing that keeps coming back, usually involving being far removed from my mother and her drama. Being at those places where she wasn't and finding peace and solitude. Woods play a large role, large pines especially. The quiet places where I could go and imagine being safe, surrounded by my imaginary friends and the usual contingent of fairies.

Safari Don't confuse this with the African bush. This is still in Singapore. In Singapore Zoo, you might forget about the difference! Singapore Flyer Don't read this if you fear... Nightlife! Whew!
