Karen Hunter's brother and his folkband, Chaim and the Essentials play a song he wrote for her, here: http://www.folkalley.com/openmic/song.php?id=15963 There is also a link on the right side of this page. It is incredibly moving. I thank him for sharing it with me. Coincidentally, he posted it, after four years of working on it, on my 43rd birthday. I can understand how it would take him so long to produce something so beautiful and also so painful.
And not coincidentally, I post notice about the song on Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day, KBH.

Eight, really 4 times 2
Well extended-family,
It's almost February 8th, which will be my 8th birthday. By now, my mommy and I are very accomplished at making blog postings together. I can just think them and send them to her.
Being 8 really feels like being 4 times 2. My brother Bernie is 4 and I feel like he and I are a team -- so really we are both 8 and 4 at the same time. Since we do so much together, I run as much a 4 year old and he sleeps as much as an 8 year old. We consult with each other on everything except the catnip toys and strawberry ice cream. I don't know why, but those are always mine first. Otherwise, we share. Of course, I give him back his catnip toys...and he gives me back my fuzzy carrots, etc. Frankly, we have the same of everything, so it's hard to tell whose is whose, except that I don't dunk the fuzzy carrots in food. If it smells like food, it's his carrot. I've never understood that, but he doesn't understand why I sweep up AFTER he sweeps up around his bowl. It's a Larry thing.
I would like to thank all of my family for their love this year, for the new nicknames, (Sarastro, The LUVBUG, Leering Larry, etc.), and for looking at all those fabulous pictures of Bernie and me that my mother sends around. (It's not our idea, though we hear it brightens peoples days.) Above is one of me being my "smooth" self in the early am.
Cheers and Happy Love Forever Day!
Larry
