I work near the Gulch. And because I have the enduring misfortune of working evenings, I get from my parking lot to the interstate by coming up that street that’s on the side of Whiskey Kitchen. There is a valet stand there. I reckon it takes about 20 steps from the valet stand to the door of the restaurant. Thing is, there are places to park EVERYWHERE around Whiskey Kitchen, many of which would not…
Holden technically took his first steps back in early March but he pretty much decided that that business was for chumps and he’d rather scoot and crawl around for travel purposes. We’d try to encourage him to walk but he would crumple into a ball every dang time, for about a month and a half. One day Ray was brushing his teeth and Holden was in the bathroom watching, clinging to his legs, when he…
Yesterday I was up early with Holden (he hasn’t slept past 7 since I’ve been off) and when he went down for his nap, so did I.

I don’t mind. I need a day of decompression before I can even contemplate what’s next or how to…

This is a groundhog, right? This little guy gets around. I see him in our and the neighbors’ back yards as well as across the street in the horse pasture. He’s the size of a very large cat or a raccoon. You can’t tell scale from this crop but you can see the fence behind him here. He’s always sifting through the dirt and grass when I see him. He has a really interesting pattern…
