Putting Bromptons to the test
Made great time starting out, taking a break at Rideau Provincial Park. Made friends with the Warden after putting a $20 in the pop machine and then reading the “exact change only” sign. I’ve discovered that writing after a long, Continue reading On the road again
I know there’s no magic formula for a fulfilling life or longevity—or both, but Warren seems to have found something close to it. Penny and I have spent more time with him this year already than many others. He’s changed Continue reading Warren

Part of travel for us at this point in time is finding a place for Ricky. He’s too much maintenance to leave at home and unfortunately our usual kennel was booked. We found Belinda who has five cats of her Continue reading On our way
