NPR asked me to do a short memo to the president-elect. I chose to do it on the dog he should choose… and why. Check it out.

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left. When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs.

"I wish I could see the angels"

Great memo and if Mr. Obama appoints you Secretary of Critter, please consider me for Undersecretary of Beagle. My dogs can complete the 61-question survey honestly and without making anyone nervous.

David–your dog looks amazing!! Clearly, our canine companions are worth more than all the lexapro, lunesta, etc. in the land. Right now I can’t finish washing the bedding b/c one of my airedale/golden mixes looks so angelic sleeping on the bunched up blanket on top of our bed. I can’t bear to disrupt her. Didn’t Harding have an airedale in the White House? Hmmmmmmm……………
