Books, film, music, art, dogs, science, technology. CA native relocated to Durham, NC in 2004. I listen more than I talk, I read more than I post. He/him.
Our dog got to check an item off her bucket list tonight. Due to poor communication between the humans, she was fed dinner twice, and ate them both. This was a triumph 8 years in the making. Good job, Lily.
