The youngest of my "boys" recently celebrated his first birthday and, while the occasion was a happy one to mark, I also noted the date with a tinge of sadness. That year certainly went quickly. When I thought about the number of years we got to love Cassidy (12.5) and started doing simple math in … Continue reading Dog years and the passage of time

To run for my own pleasure without measure. To get out once or twice a month for the sole purpose of being social without the crutch of working.

I've learned there are occasions which demand recognition for various reasons - holidays, … Continue reading 12/13/14
