August? Already? – How can it be August? Seems like January is six weeks long and July is less than 24 hours. I’m sure August won’t feel much longer. Then it’s winter. Circle of life – This summer I have … Continue reading

What’s it with dogs anyway? – I was waiting in the Starbucks drive-through line (no, I don’t spend half my life there) and the car in front had a dog with his head hanging out the window. He was a … Continue reading
