My new year’s resolve (OK, a little late/early for that): quit pouring over the news every time I get on the computer. This person has died, that person has died, racial conflict, religious conflict, political conflict. It’s not what I need to be spending time on.

Pyr is growing, but he’s still a big, clumsy goofy puppy.
