Birds of Prey in the Neighborhood
One morning a few months ago, when I let my dog out, there was a hawk in my backyard eating a freshly killed pigeon. It was awesome. There was a big circle of feathers, and bright red blood in the snow. As Vader ran out to see what was going on the [...]

I Can’t Walk My Dog By the River Because of the Alligators
There are two alligators in the White River. Seriously. Alligators in Indianapolis. What’s up with that? Some fool must have released their pet gators when they got too big to handle, figuring that having large, dangerous, invasive predators in our city would make life better for everyone. One of the [...]

Today Vader and I were cruising through the woods, as we like to do, and we had been walking for about an hour and a half when just as we were almost back to the car all hell broke loose. One of the things Vader likes to do whenever he has the chance is [...]

Life on the Road… an Over-Detailed Snapshot for the REALLY Curious
Yesterday, Vader (my dog) and I left Indianapolis around noon Eastern time. We stopped briefly at the library to get what turned out to be a boring audiobook. I’m actually still in the middle of listening to Dune by Frank Herbert (and it’s AWESOME!) but it’s on cassette and I wanted to take [...]

Fireworks Are Awesome
This was a good day. Took Vader to the dog park in Madison with my Mom and Brother, had some delicious food, hung out with some family friends, made some more food, ate it, had an awesome birthday cake in the shape of a giant beetle with chocolate Twizzlers for legs, and went to [...]
