Getting ready for winter

We've been having mild, September-like October weather, but the last couple of days have been the dank, November-like October.

Dog park conversation

One of the people I talked to at the dog park last night was complaining about her neighbor, who, although he lives in a densely populated part of one of the most densely populated cities in the country, has decided that he should never have to hear a dog bark. Her dog is a very [...]

Organizing

I had been thinking that I might be moving towards not being an organizer for a while. The thing that started this line of thought was the number of places I've been (including NEFFA without bringing flyers for the Cantabile Band. But this week has refined that perception.
