Walking paradox:
Would-be writer but chronic procrastinator,
Pet lover with a dander allergy,
Admirer of old things from 'new media'.

Went to a funeral today for Krissy's uncle, Ron. He was a good guy and had a well-lived life. Tell the people you love that you love them, okay? Thanks. Here's a dog and cat, living together.
