so i feel a nudge to write.  "it has been quite a while" ...like an awkward encounter with a long lost college acquaintance...   "how are you?"."good". "how are you?". "good".     yep, that pretty much sums it up.  it is hard to delve into the reasons and what hows of all that has transpired since once last communicated so sometimes it is easier just to graze over the present. 

so i had this hilarious conversation on the phone with this precious old man from new jersey the other day. (due to my job)  anyways,  his dog kept barking in the background.  when i asked what kind of dog it was he said a basset hound.   so within seconds i had a mental image of this old man in high waisted navy blue pants and a tucked in white shirt and a funny hat...and a big fat basset hound sitting on the couch next to him....  when i asked the name of the dog he said 'myrtle'.    sometimes things in life just fit.   like the name 'myrtle' for a basset hound. 

if i had a hound dog (which i think i would really love) i would name him rufus.  

so.  thought of the present ....  i think old men are adorable.  i think basset hounds with old lady names are more adorable.
