How to Turn 40

Well, it's April. The last time I posted was in early September of 2006. Fall and then Winter came and went. Life moved slowly from day to day, but at the end of it all, the time seems to have flown by. How is that? How can each day seem to lounge around for weeks on end, yet two seasons, looking back on them now, seem to have passed in the blink of an eye? So many things have happened, both good and bad and some even ugly. I guess that's the way it works.

Spring is here now. The weather isn't much better than it was in Winter, but because the sun is out longer, we pretend it is. We take the dogs out to the park and let them run around until they have had there fill. It's all about the dogs in early Spring. The other day our Little Man was playing tug with a huge "brown dog". There Harley was, his head the size of Little Man, ball in mouth, head lowered, allowing our guy to tug away on the attached rope for all he was worth. Every now and again Harley would step forward, encouraging Little Man, allowing him to think he was winning this tug of war. People walking down the path stopped to stare, and then to laugh. It was a good day at the park.
