A few images from our trip to Japan in April 2025.

My golden was 11 when we found out he had bone cancer. It sucked but I’m so grateful for the 3 months we were able to spoil him. He was himself up until his last day. That day was horrible, but we were able to be as prepared as you can be for a horrible day. Wishing the best for you and your pup!

Yeah, that’s how I remember it too. Don’t think we saw it live but shortly thereafter?

Dempsey was the best.

And, I’d forgot that story.

We got Chicago!

Cool things to do there right?

Since we listed Charlotte as our preferred airport, I’m betting we get two nights in … Phoenix.

My wife purchased a mystery trip for us.

$200 with three tiers of possibilities.

Grand prize winners get 6 nights somewhere cool. Lowest tier is 2 nights somewhere more common.

We hope to get a phone call today letting us know where we are headed this Spring.

It came to my attention some of these movies are only “for rent” and suddenly feels like the Grinch runs streaming services.

Drop some garbage and bring back seasonal bops by Thanksgiving every year.

Give the people what they want!

I know I’m doing something right when one of my students stops me to ask:

“Why can’t you trust people who carry graph paper?”

“They are always plotting something.”

This was the highest we’ve ever been. 😂
