August 14, 2023: Your Account Has Been Locked!

Yesterday morning, I woke up to the news that my twitter account had been locked.  I experienced a trifecta of emotions in rapid succession: disbelief, anger, then relief.  Disbelief because my twitter feed is relatively benign - unless you happen to be a politician.  Anger at the thought of the 12+ years of tweeting history…

August 13, 2023: Suji Sunday!

Hanging out with coco. Two old-timers commiserating. Suji continues to slow down.  She now sleeps through most days.... She's also having an increasingly harder time chewing and swallowing.  We suspect it's the neural paralysis that robs her of her ability to walk that is slowly working its way up her spine.  So this is how…

August 7, 2023: Avenge me!

Late last year, I was feeling under the weather.  Consistently.  And particularly at night.  I would wake up, drenched in sweat and incredibly nauseous.  I couldn't sleep on either side or flat on my back and was only comfortable propped up at a 45 degree angle.  Every time I ate, I was assailed by endless…
