Grover is in the pits. The tar pits. He has fallen, and he can't get up. I can really feel the suck of the asphalt immobilizing the Sesame Street inaction figure in the condo parking lot. My walking buddy and I discovered Grover on our walk right after the rain ended this noon.
Sucks, mired, immobilized. Sounds like my life lately, and it is time to pull myself out.
I'm starting a bucket list just so I can put the La Brea Tar Pits on it. For now my bucket is half full of rubber bands, not half empty.

You are dealing with the sucky mire better than I am, and better than Grover is, it appears. I really like your shiny bucket!
Kathleen--I think Grover is looking up from the sucky mire at us and singing:
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
