So, the baby skunk. Mama helped me come up with a name.

Petal.

Petal works... since it is a small part of Flower.

Cute, huh?

I see Petal quite often. He seems to have claimed the ivy-covered ground outside of my building... right next to the golf course. I assume he goes over to the golf course at night as well, when the golfers aren't there. Cute fellow. But Petal has yet to understand that he doesn't need to lift his tail at everybody and every noise and every critter that comes near. Gotta work on that.

So, I spoke with Martin Sheen on Sunday afternoon. Yep. Read it again. Spoke with Martin Sheen. Not about anything in particular... just casual talk. But it was huge for me, just the same. He was at a party that I was working for John Wells (West Wing). Friendly guy. He comes up and talks just like he's known you for years. "How you been doing?"

Very impressive personality.

He's just been added to my small list of fave celebs. For those who follow this journal, you will recall an encounter I had with Bill Paxton a while back. Awesome fellow. And Ricki Lake for that matter. Very nice, normal lady.

I'm rambling. Been a long day.
