Happy 16th Birthday to Blanche. Adorable, loyal, flatulence that clears a room not just your sinuses, lover of walks and biscuits.

All dressed up and ready to go.
But all the humans were a no show.
Went to bed, left me alone to see the New Year in all alone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2024.

It's almost 2024, I'm 62 years old and I still have so many unanswered questions!!!! I haven’t found out who let the dogs out...where’s the beef...how to get to Sesame Street or San Jose... why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps...Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same, or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a chuppa chupp......why eggs are packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails... why “abbreviated” is such a long word; or why is there a D in ‘fridge’ but not in refrigerator... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to “put your two cents in” but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts” where’s that extra penny going to... why does The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs... and just what exactly is Victoria’s secret? and where is Wally?... Can you hear me now?...and do you really think I am this witty?? ... I actually got this from a friend, who stole it from his brother’s girlfriend’s, uncle’s cousin who lived next door to an old class mate’s mailman...Now it is your turn to take it from me... Copy and Paste, add your age, and enjoy your day.

Have a happy New Year.

I had the pleasure and honor of helping Bethany and Tim with their first dance, for their wedding which was held at Duke University. Tim had to travel down from NYC for lessons due to a new job opportunity and we just had a blast putting it all together
