DONE! D-U-N, done! Tonight we finished a major, major project that needed to be complete before we get on an airplane on Wednesday. We’ve still got a lot to do between now and then, but the biggest chore is complete. Continue reading I finished what I did and I went upstairs in my dressing gown
Just one more update about Radley. First thing this morning, we took him to the vet. The plan was to get the sutures removed, but, suspiciously, they were already largely gone. Apparently we didn’t watch him as closely as we thought during those spans that he had his cone off. Regardless, they said his incision had healed nicely. We when we asked about what further precautions we needed to take with him in terms of exercise, playing, activity, they answered “He can go back to being a dog.” It’s nice to have him back at full strength.

One week from tonight we get on an airplane pointed north, making our annual trek to The City of Wonderful Water for one of the biggest, oddest college radio fundraisers you could ever imagine. We’ve been swamped with preparation for the event (which is part of the reason I’ve been relying of shorter posts in this space of late). I’ve previously noted the documentary that was made about this contest and my team’s surprisingly prominent place in it. Turns out this documentary will be showing on Wisconsin Public Television fairly soon, and, as part of that airing, one of the … Continue reading The sun is up looks like a perfect day to put our soldiers on a cake parade
Since I dutifully posted the trailer that inspired gales of online love a couple weeks ago, I should probably post the very funny parody that has followed in short order. Due credit: I found this because someone else found it first. (Posted simultaneously to “Drilling Holes in the Wall.”) Continue reading When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
This little dog pictured above is doing much better. A week ago, Radley had to go into the vet for surgery. Emergency surgery is an accurate term, I suppose, though “unexpected surgery” seems more appropriate for the situation. We were … Continue reading Today is going to be a better one, there’s nothing more to take in that’s going wrong

My oh my, it’s been quite some time since this box has been cracked open: It’s perhaps been long enough that a refresher is required. This box contains a multitude of items that I’ve been toting around for ages, my … Continue reading You hand in your ticket and you go watch the geek
For anyone wondering about the follow-up on yesterday’s post… …Radley’s home. He got through it as well as can be expected and fully acquainted his new vet in his unique charm as a patient. Thanks to everyone who passed along well wishes. (Posted simultaneously to “Jelly-Town!”) Continue reading One day I know there’ll be a place called home
So here’s what happened today. This morning, shortly after midnight, Radley–you remember Radley–woke up and started whining to go outside. This is a little unusual for him since he typically makes it through the entire night without difficulty. Lately, though, he’s been having some trouble urinating, which we chalked up to an urinary tract infection, an ailment he’s had once before. He just completed a round of antibiotics on Friday and we’d been trying to discern, without much luck, if it had helped him or not. Our plan was to check how it went for him when we woke up … Continue reading
