The Charlie Bravo Story

Thank you…

...for a good night's rest, one not marred with jarring thoughts of doom and despair or buzzing, nerve-jangling phone calls in the wee hours of the morning. Thank you for self-entitled dogs that obviously have no concept of fractions and right angles but somehow realize that diagonal and even horizontal are the ways to occupy the most real estate. Thank you for sleeping arrangements obviously engineered to help me overcome any claustrophobia concerns, the equivalent…

The “Hair Falling Out” song

This one was actually picked by mom, and goes back to BC: Before Charlit, or more appropriately, Before Cancer. Alex used to call this the "hair falling out" song because of the line "honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair"; no one realized how as accurate that would be until mom had to go through cancer surgery, chemotherapy and all the related indignities some years later. And don't worry, it's all…

The day starts when I try to get her to go outside, and she greets…

Dream big

The only thing currently saving our retinas are the distant snowcapped mountain range running intercept as we journey towards the blazing rays of the setting sun. The sage scented wind is whipping through Miss Ellie's open windows, causing Charlie's silky ears to flop and pop like bullwhips in the breeze. Three weeks on the road have left dad considerably more scruffy but infinitely more relaxed as, with one foot on the dash and the other…

Somewhere is right here…

Dad just saw a study that showed Americans are some of the most stressed workers in the "civilized" world; DUH! just one look at dad's face on any Sunday night would have saved the researchers a whole lot of time and effort. The study also showed that stress levels could be significantly reduced by changes in diet, exercise, and meditation, so that tells me that our destiny lies not in the hands of those that…
