Its been two weeks since I last wrote. I’m back to working 50+ gruelling hours a week. That puts a damper on my free thoughts.

I’ve started dreaming about work again…..not the kind where I’m always missing deadlines and I get fired or anything like that….but the kind where no matter what I’m dreaming about people from work are in the scene and issues from work are incorporated into the loose storyline.

I had a bad week last week overall. I need to write about that separately….but my dog was put to sleep. She was 20 years old. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t have her. That was actually very sad for me, and even if I didn’t always see her, since I live in Atlanta…..I did often think about her holding down the fort in Easley….sleeping in various rooms, licking people, playing with her food, wandering around like she was lost. I loved that dog, and I often said she was the only member of the family who had never said a cross word to anyone. How true!! I’ll miss you giz/gizzer/wizzer/wizard/blizzard/lickmo.

    E – sorry to hear about your pup back in Easley. 20 years is a long time and you should enjoy every moment of it. Pets are awesome, especially dogs. Never had one, but want to get one. My cat of 15 years has cancer and is not doing well in NC. I feel you, bro. Be good and I hope to see you in ATL in Sept.

    I think the whole family will miss her, although I wasn’t as close to her as you were.

    Long live the wizzard!

    Whatever vet said that feeding dogs hamburger meat and baked chicken all their life was a bad idea, is a freaking idiot!

    Sorry to hear that, man! Giz definitely had a good life, though. Always got to sit right behind your mom’s head in the car, and always had the best dinner of anyone in the house!
