Dog Days, or Reasons Why I'm Dogging-the-Blogging

*

It's summer. The kids are home from school. I've modified my schedule to be home by 8:00a.m. each day, which means we're neck-deep in home improvement projects, music-, horseback riding-, and art lessons, trips to the water slides, picnics, sport camps, and such.

*

The 'youth baseball politics' saga continues into the all-star post-season. Frankly, it makes me want to live off the grid and avoid all humans with the intensity of a three-year-old faced with spinach.

*

My daughter is becoming one of the most captivating people I've ever met. I can't believe my good fortune to have time to spend with her over the next two months! I don't want to waste a minute.

*

My oldest son has an incredibly great sense of humor, and I don't want to miss a moment with him, either. By next year, his wit may have outgrown me.

*

I have a bicycle. Two, actually: road and mountain.

*

Also, camping and fly-fishing equipment.

*

Anyone heard of summer theater? Yeah, that's going on as well.

So... I'm around; and I'm watching/reading all of you, but I may be scarce in the writing/posting department at least until I either get so many photos I have to finally upload them to make room in the camera, or find something of general interest about which to write. Whichever comes first.
