There are some very good times and some not quite as good times at the Casa del Whackos. But usually the best times come at the most unexpected times, and this was the case tonight. Everyone had crashed early, and canine snores filled the air as dogs were sprawled everywhere it was most inconvenient. Great, I thought; I'll get a little writing done. Then I heard that all too familiar high-pitched whine, and feel that…

Yo dad, what’s up? Hey, Charlie! Just sitting here thinking about how much water has passed beneath the bridge in the years since the last book; it’s been quite the party hasn’t it?

Just an average night at the Casa del Whackos... Oba(Japanese for "grandmother")is mom's 83 year old, 4' 9" Okinawan mama-san that has recently moved in with us. As she is NOT a fan of dogs, the learning curve for all involved has been a bit steep at times. Imagine not being fond of a certain thing, then being immersed up to your neck in that very thing. I guess that it would be like me…
