Let’s not waste this fine Spring day. Django is waiting. I know I know. But I had to go for a run with Syd first. Yep, I’m a runner. Kind of. Syd went on her real run early in the morning, and then when she finished she ran here so we could go for a […]

No direction home
No one has noted her resemblance to Dylan. I saw the woodcarver at the park, walking with Mr. Wu and their dogs. They were so far away that when I waved and they didn’t wave back, I figured they just didn’t see me. I walked a little further, then turned to call Django and leash […]
