Yesterday morning we lost our gentle giant and best bud, Sampson. Still processing that loss and likely will be for quite some time to come.
RIP, Big Guy. You are so missed!

Robb Elementary School Massacre.
Some are saying "Uvalde". Why use the name of the city it took place in? "Littleton" doesn't mark Columbine massacre.
My heart is with the Robb Elementary community, including the city of Uvalde, as they mark the 3rd year observance of this massacre.

The cause of death for my daughter, Anne Marie Hochhalter, has been released by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office (see attached).
I'm sharing this for family and friends who may see some things in the media that may be, or may not be, totally accurate.
I thought folks might like to know.

By now, at least some of you have figured out what's been going on from my last post. Rather than me saying much, I'll let Frank DeAngelis' words speak for me.
There will be a formal announcement from Anne Marie's designated representative soon.
And, yes, I'm still broken.

When I saw tRump's meme this morning, I though this can't be real, can it? Seriously? Then I found it is real. Then I also found out he not only didn't send in the military, but he also didn't actually turn on the water as he said he did.
