I don’t know what makes me laugh more, the cat’s sour look or the hand holding on the sad little Santa hat.

So I am here now, and I will make several observations. 1. It is not nearly as cold as I feared it would be. However, at about 27 degrees, it is still painfully cold for a SoCal wimp like me. 2. Good lord, Wheaten Terriers have a lot of energy. My mom had thought my ...

Not quite a complete goodbye yet, since I’ve already agreed to come in on Wednesday and help out with some holiday nonsense as I badly need the money. But today was my last day of real work. It’s been almost exactly two years since I started working for my employers, and today I officially got ...
