The way that you turn every head that’s around you

Shawshank, April 17, 2026

Podrick was a very, very good boy this morning. I only had to whisper-yell at him. I got out of bed, checked the time on the stove, and went back to bed. He was picking at the auto feeder. I let him, it was set to go off four minutes later.

I slept in today. But of course, Crystal was wide awake. One day, I’d like to roll out of bed, and look over, and Crystal is deep asleep. One day, I’d really like to wake up to that.

A boy can dream.

It’s snowing out there. Podrick is in the front window, watching big flakes fall from the sky. Pippin is in the bedroom having her breakfast. She gets some quiet time without him in her face.

Work wasn’t too bad, with all the ice. But we had a delivery, and 80% of that got put out. So we had that going for us. But for tue most part, minus one big rush, it was pretty quiet. Nothing two people couldn’t handle. So we got out pretty much on time. Tonight will be the same, except I have a different co-worker tonight. He’s a little scatter brained. But I’ll move him along like I do every time I work with him.

Tomorrow – opening the shop, then off to SlightlyBiggerTown for the supply run. Then back home to feast, and watch WrestleMania. That’s the weekend.

I would really just like it to stop snowing, though.

It’s raining. But that doesn’t matter, because today is Friyay – the Rex Manning day of the week. If Friday was a car, it would be an El Camino. Cool, yet able to carry stuff in the back. Kind of like a mullet. Form and function. The coffee is brewing, and I’m wearing a toque.…

Yesterday all day, every day all of you for the rest of my life

It’s bright and sunny out there. And Podrick has been mostly good this morning. He’s been exploring the beanbag chair, that Crystal will be talking about in her morning post. Once my brain can log the sound and remember at a moments notice, I’ll be able to sleep through it. Just takes a little while.…

And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Good morning my friends. The Podrick wasn’t too bad this morning. I heard some banging, but not a lot, so I reset Sleep Daddy, and tried to sleep. I think I did … mostly. But I’m kinda stuffed up. But I think I managed to doze. When I got up, I looked at the time,…
