The Postscript

When stretch pants become a way of life.

Sharing my day and my anxiety with an Italian Mastiff.

How I found my signature look by allowing my spouse to cut my hair and other dubious fashion choices. 

Some unheeded words of advice for the New Year -- or any other day of the year. 

On the essential importance of wearing sparkles today.

The day I realized my Pollyanna status was strictly amateur.

True life stories of ordinary animals and their imagined sorrows.

Starting new adventures at middle age isn't any less trying, but having a little perspective is helpful. 

I'm happy to have friends of any kind and my arboreal pals have a lot to teach me. 

I have good neighbors and I wish it could stay that way.
