It’s been 3 years since Peggy died of pancreatic cancer. She was kind and generous, almost to a fault. The term “rapier wit” was invented with her in mind. She was a dedicated teacher and raised two amazing sons. She was my best friend. We were married 46 years and I miss her more each day.

Looked out my window today and saw what I’m pretty sure is a fox. Never have I ever seen one of these “in the wild” before. Managed to get a short clip befor it left.

I started physical therapy for my shoulder last week. A couple of the exercises involve lying on my back, but it’s really tricky to do them when this happens.

Peggy and I were married on this date 49 years ago. She was my older sister’s best friend in HS and at some point we became friends ourselves. You may wonder, did she give me some kind of sign that she wanted to be more than friends? Well yes, in hindsight I guess I can see it, but it was subtle… 😉

Today is my birthday and as I hit the big seven-oh today I reflect back on the time I wandered the streets of Manhattan, dejected, after failing tryouts with the Yankees. I mean, if Babe Ruth could do it…

It’s National Black Cat Appreciation Day, so here’s a brief video of Buster almost exactly 15 years ago, when he was a tiny ball of fluff (as opposed to the humongous ball of fluff he is now) 😻
