Woohoo! The weekend is almost here, just got back from a nice little lunch with my dearest pal, and I'm zipping through work like there's no tomorrow! Not many thoughts for today, other than that learning of June Carter Cash's death surprised and saddened me... the other day I was thinking about Johnny Cash and how sad I'd be when he passed because it was my first concert and in pretty heavy rotation among the music I grew up with, so it was just a weird and unfortunate coincidence to hear the sad news this morning. My dog Jackson was, of course, named after the song and when he was being good we'd listen to it and dance around the apartment trying to bond... my mom says he's doing incredibly well living up north with them and the other dogs, which is good news. Seems that he and Tika like to bark at each other but if that's the worst of his behavior then he's certainly much happier than he was living in an apartment in Albany. I can't wait to see him again but it's starting to sound like this move was good for him and that bringing him back to live with me might not be in his best interest. As long as he's happy... he's a good little dog who really deserves to be in a loving environment; I'm sure that his destructive behavior probably came from living in some less-than-ideal situations and I really wasn't able to spend the one-on-one time with him that he so clearly needs.

And the countdown to happy hour begins...
