Observations

Authors who write books which will be turned into audio versions should avoid characters named Jack.

A reader and a listener evenutally tire of hearing "Jack asked". It sounds like something else. Trust me on this one.

This is a lush spring. Each year the flowers get more beautiful. Perhaps we just learned to appreciate them more.

One of our dogs ate the inserts to my much-loved and ancient UGG slip-ons. My fault for leaving them where he could get to them. I've put in "Gels" from Dr. Scholl. Here to tell ya - NOT THE SAME. I was on my feet for 6 hours straight today wearing the UGGs with gel inserts. Not doin' it, folks!
