.But for now, you’ll be seeing a lot of dog pictures because I think they are that darned cute.
Kids deserve a forever home
You know what one of the hardest things to do is when working with troubled children? It’s holding your tongue and your temper as the child explains to you just how wonderful their parents are. Because apparently, no matter how horrible and horrendous their childhood was, mom is mom and dad is dad and it seems as though the only way these kids can survive emotionally is to convince themselves that mom and dad were pretty special. The fact that they are in state custody is just an inconvenience to be brushed away as something the state has done to
Sleeping arrangements have become interesting
Carm climbs on top of whatever body part of mine that seems the most comfortable and starts to snore almost immediately. If I move, he immediately gets up and politely waits until I’ve turned and then finds another spot on top of me that works for him and goes back to snoring. Bubba takes the path of least resistance. She sleeps with her butt firmly planted against my leg so that when I turn, all she has to do is slightly rearrange her butt. Meanwhile, I try to fall asleep in one position so as to not disturb them too
It’s official
The dogs pooped their first bird seeds today. They are officially part of the household now for sure.
When I was young
When I was young, I could fly 20 hours back from Asia and be at work the next day with no more problems than perhaps a slight sense of being tired. Now I travel back from the East Coast and need a week for my body to catch up. I’m still not sure when my mind will follow. And then I wonder… is it my age or the joy that air travel has become?
To all those concerned folks
My plan to fund my retirement through my winnings at the penny slot machines has fallen slightly short of expected. I either have to die in the next five minutes or find another source of funds.
Carm and Bubba… the last pics for at least today.

I think these pictures make it pretty clear that I’ve won the doggie jackpot. Carm and Bubba are amazing. How lucky am I that they came to live with me?
