Serendipity
I’ve been focused on my Storyworth project for a few weeks. I’ve spent a lot of time drenched in memories of my mom and dad and walking on a virgin prairie. I’ve been listening to imagined conversations and revisiting places that don’t exist anymore. Progress and time have claimed many things from my past and I’m beginning to […]
The hole
Today feels like a Monday on a Tuesday – long weekends mess me up, I have a hard enough time remembering the day of the week as a rule – throw in a stat and I’m hooped. Nothing distinguishes Wednesday from Saturday when you’re living the life of a retired…whatever I am. Even my mornings […]
The tail end
Chester and I take a road less traveled these days. We avoid the park and other dogs and children and cross the street for oncoming walkers. None of this has anything to do with COVID 19 or the new restrictions or social distancing and everything to do with the tail end of my dog – […]
A Lost Week

There’s something about Chester that makes people hesitant to get too close. My children are loathe to claim him as a sibling – […]
3’s a Breeze: Fergus on Duty

A pet friendly story
An eight day lag between leaving the condo and moving into my new digs has given me an opportunity to squeeze in a mini holiday prior to my lifestyle change. Finding the right accommodation for said mini holiday in the midst of a pandemic posed a bit of a problem as did accommodating my four-legged […]
The sweet smell of success
Chester and I made an amazing discovery last week. Admittedly I am late to most crazes, where other people are in vogue I am generally in-the-dark, so my amazing discovery is probably old news to everyone else. There is a you-bath-it facility at our local pet supply store and it has changed my life. Chester […]
