We watched our first Christmas movie of the year for the ‘cast tonight, Josh and I. It’s starting to feel like the holidays. We’re home. So much to do before the year ends. But, I think I’m going to let that all start on Monday. I need a day tomorrow. Hopefully I get...

Black Friday is probably not a day of rest for most. Obvs today is known for crazy deals and shopping and the kicking off of the holiday season, but for me, this day has usually just meant “rest.” And leftovers. Delicious delicious leftovers. I have it so good y’all....

I am thankful for my family and my friends. I don’t think those words quite encapsulate just how much I mean that. I am thankful for my health and theirs. That’s really the only thing that matters. Or, maybe not the only thing…certainly not the only thing, I...

Quick one tonight bc it’s laaate…but we’re up in Visalia for turkey day tomorrow. Coco next to me. Window open, because it’s nice and cold outside. Bear on the other side. Ready to sleep. We’ve got ourselves a meal to make tomorrow. Night night.

Worked me arse off today. But! all in the service of being free and clear to head out of town tomorrow to see Joe and Madhuri and Ashika for Thanksgiving. Oooohhhh it’s going to be so nice to see them. We were also going to see my mom and dad, since they’re at Bear...

Coco has the major lickies tonight. Lick lick lick lick lick. My book released today. It’s available over on Amazon if you search for “Ira Heinichen.” It’s called Glory. No reviews yet. But we sold around 100 copies, apparently. Not bad for a start. This one is...

My social calendar today was PACKED. Got to see and hang out with Siobhan and Evi. We did drinks and dim sum out in Pasadena, and it was delightful. Therapy was also delightful. Got to watch the Warriors beat the Raports, or most of it, anyway, and worked on some...

Coco smells like the Jungle Cruise tonight. She did physical therapy today, and got onto the water treadmill! Great success. She actually handled it like a champ. Wasn’t afraid of it at all. Had a great time walking for treats. And then she even tolerated laser...

We did it. Back around this time three years ago in the waning weeks of 2018, Josh and I decided to take on the project of watching all 100 films in the AFI’s Top 100 and to record a podcast while we watched. Today, we accomplished that task. It took us three years,...

As I was clipping Coco into her harness in bed—we have her set up with a leash that’s connected to the middle bar of our bed, and she wears her chest harness at night so she doesn’t go anywhere that would hurt her back—I was thinking about how life changed in an...
