My dog is one of my best friends and now that we have a winter with snow, the husky in her demands more and longer walks. Since I'm not really working out in any meaningful way anymore this is a good thing for both of us, we both get to get outside and I usually have an audiobook or God help me, Youtube going in my earbuds.

I never gave my pencils too much thought in school, grab a couple packs of numbers 2 for back to school and don't think about it. Once I could make my own choices, I switched to ink pens and never looked back. I don’t remember ever taking notes in high school, college was all ink, and working prehospital for the 20 years like I did.
