Hall, a star on Showtime's 'Dexter,' was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and is on the road to a successful completion of treatment, according to a statement released yesterday.

Where do I begin? I think with a fresh cup of tea. I’ll be right back. Ok, now I am back but not before getting distracted by 3 different things. And, that, in a nutshell, is the story of the last 3 months. So many things have happened that I guess I will eventually get them put on paper (cyber paper, that is) but they likely will take on a crazy criss cross pattern easy to spew out but difficult to read. Bear with me. January- Honestly, I don’t remember very much of January. It was pretty mellow after being snowed in for a lot of December. Christmas was nice and full of low key visits with my dear friend Tina who was here with her husband and parents from London, England for a family wedding. Then my other best friend, Pablo, came out for Christmas very last moment...

I'll be posting soon now that things have settled down a bit.Here is what has been happening with me:-still working the part-time job.-trying desperately to sell calendars in a horrific economic climate (and failing dismally).-organizing a large gala fund-raising event as well as participating in it.-getting my Occupational First Aid Level 1 certificate.-making Christmas gifts as well as shopping.-working some free-lance jobs to attempt to pay off my huge calendar printing bill.-yelling at Dexter (all 9lbs of him!) to GET DOWN! and LEAVE YOSHI ALONE!-volunteering as much as I can.-driving down to the US for business.-hanging out with my friends who are visiting from London, Eng...

I sorta know what you are facing as I have a cat and a new kitten who simply cannot get along. The kitten is impulsive, out of control, lacking in subtlety and restraint, and defiant. Not at all dissimilar to many people you will have to interact with in the near future. I contrast the first born cat is grumpy, unforgiving, completely lacking in humor and inflexible. Also eerily alike various individuals you will shortly be spending time with.My cats do not get along under any circumstances...except when one very special ingredient is added to the interaction. This addition is so exceptional and potent that it makes even the most curmudgeonly cat soften. So transforming and influential it make...

As it normally does this time of year things have become very hectic. I am working on the upcoming 2009 Iconic Women By Yoshi Calendar as well as setting up a new business and doing lots of volunteering. Dexter is still cute. Very cute. He is also still exceptionally smelly. The vet says he is fine and often kittens do not have the best digestive systems at young ages so I’ve been experimenting with different foods and might have found some that are less rank gas producing than others. I might publish a research paper: Feline Colon Inexperience and Greenhouse Gasses-Nature's Balance Between Cute and Killer I’ve never met a cat who is so frickin’ hungry every second of the day. Dexter wails for food every couple hours and eat...

Nothing obvious. To the casual observer he is a regular kitten doing regular kitten things like attacking his tail, being bad and looking cute. However, if you are unlucky enough to be around him for any length of time you will soon come to realize that something dark is brewing in the bowels of his being. Literally. This kitten stinks. He emits such revolting odoriferous clouds of funk playing with him becomes an exercise in gag reflex control. Cleaning his litter box of his rank deposits is not so much a kindness to him but a desire to breathe in my own home.If his smell was a book it would be War and Peace-The Director's Cut. If his stink was a biblical reference it would be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse pulling a manure cart. If his stenc...

How is Yoshi doing? Well…not great but not terribly awful either. She stopped eating all together a couple days ago and still occasionally (meaning pretty much every day) yaks bile which, I’ve discovered, leaves a lovely green stain on my carpet. Who said having cats was not like having kids? My berber disagrees. So I started getting desperate and bought all sorts of yummy things Yoshi might successfully ingest with no luck. I vacillated wildly between guilt and exasperation. It was not pretty around here. I tried to push the limits a little by keeping the cats separated all of the time except in the evenings when I allowed them to be in the same room with each other-supervised for fair play and safety. And the thing is t...

She has taken to barfing twice a day on a 12 hour-you-could-time-your-watch-to-it schedule. She also will froth at the mouth to make a point of her displeasure. She won't eat. Not even tuna. Today she has taken to her bed with the vapors. In Yoshi world that means she is in her Snoozen Housen and won't come out. Last night after a little hissing but mostly curious sniffings I brought the kitten out and I think that is when Yoshi realized that he was not even remotely phased by her growlings and might actually be hanging around. Things got nasty when the kitten went to jump up on the sofa where Yoshi was. She literally screamed, punched the kitten in the head and then levitated off the couch to behind the plant knocking over...

"You don't even smoke!" I exclaimed. "I need them for something," he replied. "You need them to bribe Big S and Ferret," I responded. Dexter giggled nervously.  Just what he was going to bribe them for I have no idea and was afraid to ask.  Dexter may be retarded, but he is streetwise.  He knows cigarettes are like currency within the gang.  It may be something as simple as getting them to buy him some lunch which is often the case. "I'll give you five," I then said. Dexter grinned feverishly and set out for the shopping center ahead of me.  He was a man on a mission.&nbs...

"What happened to George and his supposed cirrhosis?" I asked Big S Big S chuckled and said, "George be cuttin' down his drinkin' drastically.  He still be with Pookie and playin' poker every Saturday night." "I always worried Pookie would get George hooked on crack!" I then exclaimed. Big S chuckled some more as I sat and smiled.  It was good spending some time with Big S along with an appearance by Dexter.  I might just start writing about the gang again.  I certainly need to give this bl...

"I am going to get a home," he fiercely told me as he sipped on a 40 ounce of malt liquor this morning. "I swear. I am." "Good," I replied. "You can do anything if you put your mind to it." "How did Clara get a home?" Ferret then asked. "I got her a ride down to Columbus and she went into a program for homeless alcoholics at the Rescue Mission." "Do they take men?" "Yes, they have a men's program.  I almost went to join myself about a year ago when I couldn't quit drinking." "It has been so cold lately and I feel cold all the time.  Always shivering and having to wear layers of clothes.  And I stink." I was expecting Ferret to ask me to take him out to the truck stop for a shower, but he didn't.&n...

"You are obsessed," Rosa finally told me. "All you think about is homelessness." I just smiled, hung up the phone, and went to tell Maggie I loved her.  Maggie loves me, obsessions and all. This morning no one was down at the shopping center which was odd.  I was feeling overly social and wanted to live vicariously through Ferret's experiences.  I wanted to hear all about the beer he drank the previous night.  The sleeping in his tent.  That first cup of alcoholic coffee in the morning he always has.  I started to realize Rosa was right.  I have an unhealthy obsession about things homeless ...

"Ah, you think you can start back panhandling," I reply. "At least for a little while," Big S says. Ferret soon comes sauntering up with Dexter.  Ferret doesn't have to panhandle.  With no bills, his disability allotment keeps him in drink.  And panhandling is always about addiction and not true need.  Big S panhandles to help pay for his expensive premium cigarette habit.  "Damn," Ferret tells me. "It was cold as shit this morning." "Maybe that will ...

"Is it true you got arrested for stealing pork chops out of someone's frying pan by breaking into their kitchen?" Ferret asked Dexter, jovially laughing. "Aw shucks, man," Dexter replied. "That happened years ago." "Didn't you burn your hands getting them out?" Ferret asked, looking astonished. "They were cooling on the counter," Dexter replied now looking embarrassed. "Leave him alone," I told Ferret, trying to get him to quit. Dexter is mentally ret...
