June 12, 2020: Happy Dark Matter Day!
It's hard to believe that 5 years ago today, Dark Matter premiered.

It was a great,…

Yesterday, I came across this photo of that old gang of mine. All four were huge snugglers and were always happiest in each other's company. At night, they all slept on the bed of course, in their preferred spots: Lulu by my right side, Bubba at my left, Maximus hunkered down at my ankles, and…

June 1, 2020: The secret ingredient is…gabapentin! The wheels are turning!
I think Akemi may have slipped something into my food today. Hear me out. For lunch today, I had a giant cheeseburger with avocado, tomato, wild leek chimichurri, and La Bomba spicy Calabrese pepper spread. I was feeling perfectly fine and lay down for a couple of seconds.
