It's Coco's "gotcha day" today. We adopted her into our family five years ago. I can't believe it's only been that long. I can't believe we had Cooper for two years without Coco. It seems like she's always been here, that she's always been our dog. Of course, she...

Gonna keep this entry quick tonight...we're home. Coops is down on the carpet munching on a Whimzee. Coco has had her gray muzzle treat. Bear is in bed next to me. Life is good. It's good to be home.

Twas a rainy day today in Portland. Rainy, but mild. Not a storm. Ie- there was no wind to speak of, it wasn't super cold. Just gray and wet. How perfect that this storm was coming in and it was gorgeous for the days leading up to and including Scott and Addie's...

Scaddie are man and wife. My brother Scott and the amazing Addie are now married! I. Am. Exhausted 😂 What else is new? Their wedding was aaaaaabsolutely stunning. STUNNING. Bridal Veil Lakes, y'all. If you're in the Portland area, it is the absolute tits. Just...

The big day... ...is tomorrow. Scott and Addie get married! Oh, shit, it was also my birthday today. I literally almost forgot that because for the past couple hours, I've been writing out the speech and ceremony for tomorrow. I'm officiating my brother's wedding. Did...

We were up at 6am this morning! Twas a quick get dressed and out the door to the airport. Checked bag and through security with no problems. Got a breakfast burrito with tons of problems...but we got it eventually 😂 Flight was smooth. I slept for most of it,...

Our bedroom AC has taken to stopping working after a few minutes of running and flashing "Lt" at us, which apparently means "low temperature." I'm pretty sure this means that old Darth Danby is starting to break down. Le sigh. I am wiiiiiiped. Work was done. Packing...

Podcasted tonight with Josh. We watched the Edward Albee classic Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? which was a doozy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Josh less so, I think 😂 But at the end of the day, as has happened several times on our podcast, we ended up landing on...

I was stressing tonight about these upcoming scenes I was going to be writing for my book. They were foggy. They felt like "shoe leather," as Shawn Coyne would put it: scenes that don't actually do anything to further the story. Not the plot, but the story. The...

I'm happy to be home. I realize that tonight with some sense of...relief? Maybe? Or just satisfaction. I'm leaning toward satisfaction. I loved going away this weekend. Like, I was looking forward to it so much, and it delivered everything I wanted: time with my wife,...
