We took Scamp to a vet clinic in Old Town today; he needed his last two shots. It was a bittersweet trip. Since we’re heading to Fairbanks Friday, we figured now was the time to hand him off to the next foster family. And that’s what we did…but not without some drama. SBK […]

I see like most things, I haven’t been keeping up with the blog like I thought I would. To be honest, as I look back at what I’ve written, most of my deep thoughts and suggestions aren’t really clever or that original…a bit cliché and hackneyed to be honest. So, I’ve decided to […]

Saba, as you know, was born in Ukraine. As such, he has a certain taste for food and drink from the area. The last time he was here visiting, he bought some kefir at the store, but never got a chance to drink it. Not wanting to waste it, I opened it up […]

Today was my birthday. I don’t find birthdays special generally, and I’m not really one to celebrate (we’ll see what happens next year…). But still… it’s always nice be spend the day with my 4 favorite people. And birthdays are always a great excuse to go out to eat, right (I mean, in […]

You finally wore me down. As much as I said, “no, absolutely not. Never.” You wore me down. Like water carving out a canyon, your constant nagging has eroded my resolve. So, yesterday, with much excitement and trepidation, we filled out paperwork to be a foster family for a dog. Within 5 minutes […]

This evening was SBR’s party. We had it in the back yard, and just a few of your friends came over. The other day, I bought a screen and a projector, and I set that up so you could watch a movie with your besties. But before that, I got dinner ready. I […]

Today was a special day. SBR turned 11. That’s right, 11 years ago yesterday, as Ima was getting ready for bed, it began. Well, I won’t go into the gory details, but suffice it to say that we left the apartment around 3:30 in the morning, got to the hospital at 4, and […]

Today, Ima and I went to Six Flags America in Largo, Maryland, so Ima could get her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (she got the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine). I got my second shot (also Pfizer) two weeks ago, which was before I started this blog, thus no entry. So far she’s having no […]

I ’m in the hospital as I type this. Today is a week-and-a-half that I’ve been having a weird pain in my chest. I’m sure it’s nothing, but that’s a long time to have the same pain, so I decided the smartest thing to do would be to go to the doctor. On […]

I think you probably remember I used to bake when you were younger. It’s like watching a miracle happen when you see random ingredients thrown together turn into something as beautiful as a fresh baked loaf of bread. As you know, I got into baking a few years ago when I began to […]

Today was a significant day in the fight against this Coronavirus that is plaguing the world. It wasn’t a huge thing, but I did my part. I went into work today and got my second shot of the vaccine. One small jab for me, one giant shot at getting us back to normalcy. […]
