Dawn comes late as we emerge from our sun's most Southern journey. KK and I abide by its message and get up late ourselves. I conciously stay in bed, knowing that I do not have Shag to take out for her morning ablutions. The timing of when KK and I go on our morning walk has been pushed back to the late morning or even early evening. The pace of our walk has now quickened as we no long have to stop and have Shag scratch and snif. I no longer take an afternoon walk through Sapphire Lane since Shag is not around and in need of her afternoon constitution. Since I am not walking Sapphire Lane any longer, how will I react/ inform the neighbors along the way who use to stop us and pet Shag and talk with me about the weather, and such. I guess, if the unseasonally warm weather persists, I will take a walk down Sapphire Lane, alone, and speak with those who are out and about. However, I may be invisible since Shag is not with me as we were considered a duo and not a single walking man.
KK and I are making our plans for the next 1/2 year; the important date is May 20th; graduation of Andre from Medical School. Our other trip plans all revolve around being in Washington DC on that day. We plan on taking Rudy to the Northwest, Seattle or Vancouver as we take an Alaskan Inside Passageway cruise. Plans after we return from Alaska have not yet been formulated. We will be at the cottage for most of the summer so we have some juggling of time and priorities to do.
The Christmas tree is out, taken to Patriarc Park where East Lansing outdoor service workers made short work of putting it through the chipper, chips for a forest pathway. Basketball and football playoffs TV viewing, computer work, Meridian Township Planning Commision work all dominate our weekend activities.

It sounds like you have a lot of great plans in your near future. Are you thinking about stopping in the Bay Area on the way to/from the Northwest?
