Spring is here!

Late Week
Dave sits down for a little chat with Jiminy Glick at the Paramount. What a hoot!

Realizing that the best part of the office with a window view is proximity to good people.

A soulmate visits from out of town. Friday night splurge at dinner, and late night chatting.

A too-busy week, with too many plans, too many late nights, and too little sleep means running out of steam too early and not being happy at all about the consequences of that.

Weekend
Saturday morning 4 mile run with chatty Betsy, and afterwards, imagining that we're in the Carribean for a few sun-warmed, sprawled out minutes at the park. Bodo's breakfast sandwiches. The soon-to-be DVM helps me troubleshoot Garrett's food related behavior(?) problem.

Out of town visit with two more soulmates and to meet new pup, Lucy. Italian food, good talks, sharing pictures and memories, lots of laughter. Talk about love and why, even after being hurt, we keep coming back for more. My hypothesis is that it's because pain, as a feeling, once it has passed, becomes impalpable. It's a fortunate and brilliant device. I decided long ago (thanks to DSF) that love is always worth the risk of losing it.

Early morning drive home so that I can wake up in my own bed. Sleeping in. Lazy until the afternoon. Setting aside time for A Prairie Home Companion. Short run, and lovely dinner.
