Dusty roads ain’t made for walking

Shawshank, May 4, 2026

Crystal let me sleep until 7 this morning. She would tell me what Podrick got into, then would tell me to go back to sleep. I think I mostly dozed. And, it’s Monday morning. Let’s get ready to start the new week. It snowed last night, sometime in the night. There’s not a lot that…

Past the Dairy Queen, the county line where there ain’t any fences

Shawshank, May 3, 2026

Waking up to hear cats fighting is something to behold. But nonetheless, we’re up, and the first coffee has been brewed. The kitties have been fed. Pippin is leisurely dining in the bedroom. It’s Sunday morning, and chore day will be happening soon. Just have to wake up a little more, before I start using…

If you’re gonna be dumb, you better be tough

Shawshank, April 30, 2026

It was quiet this morning. Too quiet. I swear I was going to get up, and check on Podrick. My mind went to, maybe he hurt himself and that’s why he’s not raising hell. But, nope, I took advantage of the quietness. But we’re up now, and it’s bright and sunny out there. Hopefully, it’ll…

The thing about a small town, word’s gonna get around

Shawshank, April 29, 2026

It’s now the middle of the week. Podrick was being Podrick this morning. But, 6:30 is a lot better than 4:30-5, so I’ll take it. He only got me out of bed (and I think deep down, he knows it’ll get me out of bed), because he was playing on the entertainment stand, pulled out…
