I remember that morning in the AK valley, heading into town, listening to Howard and Pamela when Gary came in to interrupt after the first plane hit the tower. I was at the gym before work when the second plane hit. Downtown Pittsburgh was cleared out before I had to go in for work that…
After being arctic for the Christmas holiday week, the New Year started feeling like fall except in Januaey. Ms. Phoebe and Master Crawford are a little tired after everybody left them. They really miss all of Elle’s fluff and her special woo/woof. They tried to convince their humans that we all should hibernate and watch…
And the fun has begun. I’m not quite sure why we picked Pittsburgh over Cancun or the Panhandle especially after this cold front.

I’ve always liked the Freakanomics guys ever since I read their book and studied their penalty kick theory. Today was a good day to listen about loose vs strict societies. It’s always good to know how the rest of the world lives, conforms and grounds themselves. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freakonomics-radio/id354668519 In other news we survived the downpours and…
