Tidbits from Home

Dasher the dog had his 10-day suture check-up, and the surgeon is pleased with the results ��so far. Which means that neither the dog nor I are dead, or maimed, from those days. This is certainly worth celebrating! Also, he’s … Continue reading →

Sting Operations?

Another week has managed to creep by without my noticing it except in the number of times I sleep and the number of words I’ve written–or not written. Since Monday of this week, every time I sit down to write, … Continue reading →

Dasher’s Birthday
