I’m headed to Syracuse, NY for a few days. That might seem like a strange choice for a native Texan, especially during a cold snap in February. It’s for work. The trip is going to be pretty great, actually, since I could seriously use some training in this still-new-ish job. I’m expecting to learn a…
Canine Friends Friday
I might just come out and say that Fridays are dog video day or something. There’s a pattern developing. This particular video contains a near-lethal dose of cute. The song about being loved as you are and the happy slow motion dog almost make my heart burst open. Before you write me off as a…
