My dogs are phoebe and halle.
Phoebes has been bitten twice by Western Diamondbacks. She can't get enough of their love.
And she's the smart one.
Hal was a lotto pick. My mother saw a picture of her litter on the wall of a barbecue shack. She is very, very fast. She likes to outrun golf carts and speeding cars. She also enjoys biting missionaries and motorized scooters.
MFA, Creative Writing, University of Arizona, 2005.
BA, English, University of Houston, 2003.
My sister is an equine expert for Petsmart. She wants to find a young man interested in horses. She may move to Kentucky at a later date.
My brother is a business major at UH. He is a gambler. Some days, he wishes he could work for UPS.
Julie Irkel and Andrew Hagee will move to Iowa in January 2006.
At the suggestion of Jimmy Lo, I am listening to Arcade Fire.
Dawn Pendergast is very close to publishing a book of poems. Very close.
