Anyway half way done with my Sunday long run

I’d do it again, happily. It was the right thing. But for a dog so young and high-energy, it really only worked because one of us could be home most of the time

I don’t think it should deter you, but taking our year old heeler through heart worms was really, really hard. That dog wants to work and was born to run and had to be heavily sedated for months. We chose to do the treatment during a move, when we’d have less time to walk her but it was agony

I've left it alone, in case it's been left by mistake. Perhaps someone will come looking for their epic quantity of fennel?

I was supposed to be back on campus this week, and I had some new decorations planned to spite the faculty senate. Alas, the shutdown has left me stranded here in DC.
