my little brother/step-father’s dog died today
she was a good dog – a “newfoundland rock hound” (she was always chewing on rocks) – she had some health problems for the last few years

*sigh*
death is inevitable – just keep swimming
I don’t have a very large family – I’ve got three cousins – eric (a bit crazy, but he introduced me to rock music), scott (eric’s older brother: whereabouts unknown) and johnna (the daughter of two of the most awesome people I’ve ever met: barbara and david ward)
johnna’s probably the closest thing I had to a kid sister growing up – we lived far apart but we always got along really well when we were together – anyway, she’s getting married in october – I’m happy for her but mostly excited – why? because her wedding is going to be held at [drum roll] …
here’s the invite – it’s got a corny poem on the front …

and the real details on the inside …

and the RSVP that I won’t send in ….

I’m flying solo on this one – in and out of rhode island in one day
