As a follow up, my wife did not take this as a compliment. even after I showed her from the internet that it was indeed a compliment, she was having none of it. I blame Dermot for this.

Our dogs were definitely spoiled. We couldn’t leave our dogs alone after a while either.

I get around a lot and in my industry I run into more than my share of assholes. I have zero patience for them.

I really miss our adventures together. It was hard to look at photos or videos of him for months. My dogs did not like going out in the rain.

It’s heartbreaking, and you just have to have patience while they walk a slower pace and sniff everything along the way.

That’s a good amount of walking. Up until the last year of my dog’s life, he could go pretty darned far on trails or at the beach. They keep you young.

That’s quite an image. I only got to beef with the Bible study kids when I was in college, we didn’t have a young Republican club otherwise I would’ve battled them too

We have SCE and after the Woolsey fire they installed a weather station at the end of our neighborhood. They cut our power when they think the wind is too strong. We went without power for 2.5 days at one event.

They gave me the extra pad and I didn’t use it enough.

We have Lilikoi (passion fruit) jam too. I love them both.

I saw this grave when I visited my dad last. Imagine being born in Ireland then coming to America, then shipping off to war in Europe in your 20’s. Don’t say immigrants don’t contribute.
