To my beautiful Allie, Thank you for 14 years of being my beloved dog. I will always remember you running like lightning on Crissy Field, sleeping curled up in the bend of my leg, eating your treats, yodeling for…
Well, I spoke too soon last night about the hurricane. We lost power at 1AM. It came back on at 4AM for about 1 minute, then came back on at 9 AM for 15 minutes, and then came back on…
