Van Owen and Petunia Grinberg

Van Owen is now residing alongside Petunia Grinberg in Seattle. How lovely that they can be together! All of us at Sanity Creek wish the two plenty of wonderful food and conversation, and very little rain.

Grigsby

Grigsby is a purist. Although aeronautical technology has progressed in the last hundred years, he remains loyal to the original paper airplane. As a paper airplane pilot, Grigsby gets a lot of indulgent smiles when he straps himself into his vessel with his blue rubberband security design system (patent pending). And takes off, confident in the growing nostalgia for simpler days, when a piece of well-folded paper was enough. In this economy, I wouldn't be surprised if he's onto something.

Yoga Class

Inspired by Penelope and Mitzi, the Sanity Creek yoga class has been steadily growing. They even convinced the crusty, ill-tempered raindog (far left in group photo) to join them this morning...

Happy 2009 from Sanity Creek!

From all the monkeys at Sanity Creek, we wish you a warm, happy, healthy new year, full of unexpected yet welcome occurrences. Yer the best!

Petunia Grinberg

Petunia Grinberg was born for the piano bar. A distant cousin to Stripey Joe, Petunia Grinberg watched as he rose to fame, lingering over glasses of Cesare's Dolcetto wine, lost in the music of the tiny piano. Obsessed with math and matchmaking, she has calculated the likelihood of various events and romances, and her predictions have been 93.9% accurate, most of the time. She would have been great at anything she decided to do, but for now, she is thrilled to sit back and observe the life that her calculations have created. And yet...the flag pin she wears is tangible recognition of something she never could have predicted would happen, and evidence that Petunia Grinberg, in November 2008, became more optimistic about the world.
