Got the dogs a long 3 mile walk in today. Bit brisk at 25F but bright sunshine. Given the snow predicted this might be a last time for a bit.

Got my Dad out for a walk today to the pond near their house. Made the pups happy to get to dip. Dad said the walk felt good.

So many details to take care of after someone passes. I can’t imagine how someone does this alone. The funeral home director was really helpful.

Walked the pups by the Heron river. Saw a sun dog. And then the Michigan game. Nothing like football to help dad with his grief.

Took the dogs for a long walk this AM near my parents house. Bright sunshine and frost on the ground. Mom would have loved the walk.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.
