Lounging together,
laughing as he grasps for fur.
This couch is too small.

Haiku Sunday – Yard
“Yard”
Not merely a yard,
a secluded wilderness
of unbounded dreams.
The house I grew up in, where my pup Teddy loved to run around in the backyard, has been sold. I took him there on Friday to have one final romp through his favorite squirrel-hunting grounds.

June Write-Day: Summer is Looking Up!
May turned out to be an interesting month, although the first half is a blur to me. Honestly, most of the good parts happened in the last two weeks.
We had a nice weekend at the family lakehouse, where our son was baptized by his great-uncle the pastor.

ever hopeful a morsel
will fall down to you.

He was curled up in his favorite fleece, huddled against my wife’s side. Snuggling on the couch is his favorite pastime. Continue reading “Happy 4-Year Anniversary… to My Doggo Teddy!”
How to Focus When You’re Scatter-Brained
As you’ve probably read at some point on this space, the last two-plus months have been pretty hectic for me. All of my spare time has been consumed by buying and moving into a new house while also trying to finish the second draft of my novel.
Now, I’ve had to rethink the way I tackle the myriad of responsibilities that seem to persist every day. Continue reading “How to Focus When You’re Scatter-Brained”
