And so it goes


Short one tonight. Just the observation that insomnia sucks. Even with my darth vader mask. Oh well, maybe another twenty or thirty games of free cell will do it...

Goodbye, sweetheart


This morning, the first day of winter, 2010, I had to say goodbye to my little white angel. Karli's hips and back finally betrayed her, and in a cruel surprise, led to her demise before her cancerous tumors.

I had a few people today tell me how lucky she was to have had a home that cared for her so much, blah blah blah, after what appears to have been a brutal and taxing existence. And I appreciate those kind thoughts and words. But, I keep thinking about it, and I don't see it that way. It seems more appropriate to thank Karli for blessing me with five months of her life. She did me the favor by being here, by being the completely trusting, and loving little dog she was. I will miss her. Will? Shit, I already do.

Winter Wonderland



Today was the first really nasty day of winter. It truly was a blustery day, Winnie-The-Pooh.
But, that doesn't mean everything was bad. I discovered that my senior citizen dog, that I got in July likes the snow. She enjoyed a nice waddle around, and a good lay in it.
And my outdoor decorations took on a whole new look with the snow. The photo doesn't really do it justice, but the reindeer in the snow looks pretty darn good!
