So… I’m on my way back to the office, the sun is shining the air is warming nicely coming gently from the south. As I’m driving into New Cumberland there’s a Burger King on the corner and my belly starts rumbling. So, I think to myself, “Ya know? I could really eat a Whopper with cheese!” Suddenly without warning, as if possessed with a mind of it’s own my car whips into the parking lot of the Burger King I’m about to pass by. Geez!

I’ve got to wonder sometimes: do dogs at play simply forget about their surroundings while at play with one another becoming so single-minded at the time that they completely miss obstacles in their path?

December 8: 6 p.m. It started to snow. The first snow of the season, and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
