I never knew dogs could be so complicated! And Lucky has taught me to have a lot more patience and tolerance than I have ever had before!

Our bathing buddy, James Marshall, sent this to prove that the IBA is now being officially tracked by AI! And they've even digitized Dodo! (There are times when I'd like to digitize Dodo...)

Funny story. So I tried to share this announcement on Facebook and they prevented me. Here's the photo. I'm pretty sure it's the only time in ten or so years of Facebooking that I was prevented from making a post. I have temporarily closed my Facebook account until the boycott is over.

Coming close to the end of McCarthy's excellent penultimate novel, THE PASSENGER, and keep seeing passages to read out loud. Here's how a man toasts his friend in a bar: "Stay slightly ahead of the curve. Try to keep the more common miseries at bay. Don't look luck in the eye. Cheers." Cheers!

It's a very small catharsis, but these days I'll take all the cathartic moments I can get.
