it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. sunny, blue skies, in the 60s -- great weather.

my sweetie-pie is sick (does he have a name, ed?), so that's put a significant damper on the day. he even had to skip work at his new job, which is very unlike him.

still the weekend looks good. my brothers will be in town and a good time will be had by all.

big news is...i'm thinking about getting a dog. this was never a possibility when i lived with ed and brad, but now it may happen. i'm trying to keep my wits about me, though. i am powerless to the forces of trusting brown eyes and soft floppy ears.
