Apparently the world did not end. To all, I say Welcome! We have the whole of the rest of our lives to live! Ain’t it great? I hope it’s a clear day – I want to ride…
Mister! Mister!
Mister’s been away for a few days. He arrives home today. I don’t always sleep well when he’s gone. I’m not a fraidy-cat or anything. It’s just weird when he’s away. That guy has become quite a…

11 Pipers Piping
I had a late one last night. After mainlining Guinness, I wasn’t sure if the bagpipes I heard were for reals or for play-play. Turned out, they were indeed real. And while there weren’t 11 pipers piping,…
