Huckleberry is happy as well, but for the Hucka-Hucka Burnin’ Love, chillin’ is his happy place.

It’s not a question of if we’re going to lose our country. Here’s the fact: We already have lost our country. Judges can no longer protect us. It isn’t a question of what we’ll do to stop it, it’s a question of what we’ll do to take it back.

Speak. Up. Now.

Huck and Molly, lovin’ their Sunday. Sometimes it’s something as simple as good friends that get you through the day and these are two of the best friends a guy could have.

When Irish Wolfhounds want attention, they do not, as a rule, take, “no,” for an answer.

White House blames USS Harry Truman collision on anti-woke policies that put white male in charge of. . .

Oh wait. Yeah. Never mind. I just thought, you know, fair is fair.

Just getting started but also completely hooked. Sometimes it hurts to laugh, but the pain of not laughing is too much to bear.

Amazing prose so far, the kind that evokes the mantra, “Writing is not a zero sum game,” until my jealousy subsides.

Whenever there is something important to do, there will always be a cat.

On your lap.

Well, she’s nearly eighteen. I think she’s earned it.
