Last week I was on vacation and I just left the 50 pound bag of dog food out for my dog to eat at his convenience.
When I returned and put the bag back in the shed, he bounced around as though he was expecting breakfast. Either he forgot to eat the night before (unlikely) or this is one of those Pavlovian reflexes where he gets excited about food even though he's not hungry, just because I was handling the food bag.

What's going on with me today is two things:
1: I popped out to a local farm, got some raw milk (from dexter cows, little short cows that make VERY low lactose milk) and made a gallon of boiled custard. I do this every Wednesday, as Wednesdays are my days off. This week I made chocolate/cherry boiled custard. Last time I used almond extract. Before that it was orange/cinnamon. No idea what I'll flavor it with next week... probably almond extract again.
2: Playing a video game with a very good story and a penchant for crashing every half hour or so. Very annoying - if it had a lesser story I'd give up and move on. But "Kingdoms of Amalur" has such a good story that I am putting up with it, and trying to remember to quick-save often.

A Bruce Carroll song came around in my music collection yesterday, and the second verse fit me so well...
A wise man said most people die
With the music still inside of them
What a shame in a world so in need of a song
As long as my heart has a rhythm
You're gonna hear from me again
I got a melody or two before I'm gone

With the music still inside of them
What a shame in a world so in need of a song

Well returning streams to sort of it's original purpose (or at least what it was back in its heyday):
I sometimes wonder if I'm making the same mistakes with getting my dog (she's been with me just over a week) as a lot of people make in dating. And in some ways dog has made my life better and in some more stressful, but then I also think about how she's got one major issue that made her difficult to find a home for and how often people are just tossed aside because of one major issue (not saying that anyone should date or marry someone with a known major issue, dealbreakers exist for a reason) when they've got a lot to offer and with a little support and coaching and the right kind of help they could overcome it and become people as good as anyone else.
But I still maintain dogs are better people than most people.
