I quickly describe how Zach's fur is growing back. He is very much a peachy fuzz-boy. At least he does not look like a raw, plucked chicken anymore.

I seem to be pulled in too may directions and can’t return to writing on the regular…

Anyone have suggestions? Or is it just over-saturation of my “executive functions?”

Lol, not lol.

We got snow. 4-6 inches of fluffy white powder. A moment of crisp calm to forget and find peace.

Until you shovel and your ears freeze because you couldn’t find your hat.

The struggle is real and has hot chocolate for when the work is done…

Zach says hello. He wears his vest to stay warm since he was shaved for his surgeries. He has food on his nose.

Zach didn’t want his shirt today, so he is a nekkid chicken dog in his ortho pillow! He is underweight but gaining slowly.

Last night I finished reading @szestavilloauthor.com ‘s The Serpent Woman. Yes, I stayed up to finish. It was well paced, the right amount of mystery for a thriller, main characters you could feel and whether you liked them or not, you could understand.

Definitely recommend. Reading book 3 soon!

That curve!

You wouldn’t know that just a little over a month ago he was at death’s door due to a dog attack.

Just finished reading @szestavilloauthor.com ‘s The Serpent’s Bridge. I enjoyed it very much! The story is excellent and the characters feel real and interesting. I definitely recommend it for people who enjoy police thrillers and similar stories. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

The weather has turned in Boston. It’s nabe season!

A bowl of nabe with cabbage, mushrooms, carrots and shrimp. Rice is in a bowl next to the nabe and has shiso ume senshi (しそ梅千し) topping the rice.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.
