One of these weeks, months, I’ll get back to a regular working routine. As of today, time on the keyboard is still limited. Some things I can dictate, like work on my book, but I’ve always needed to punch the keys for updating the blog. Goes back to my newspaper days when I wrote columns

This meme has little to do with the topic of Slim Randle’s guest post today, but he talks about dogs, right? And who doesn’t love Snoopy. I’ve been laid up with severe back pain the past three days, and it’s still hanging around, vying with the trigeminal neuralgia for attention. I just wish they’d both
