Can you tell I've just learned how to create a blog entry from a flickr photo. My gosh it's so easy. I couldn't resist posting this silly picture of Lucy. Why is it big dogs think they're little, and little dogs think they're big? Anyway, look at her...butt sliding off the chair, scoping out the cat population in the front yard. Her favorite pastime.

Off to work

Retired? I'm busier than ever. One of my favorite things to do is work at the Diversion Program in Community Youth Services. It's interesting but definitely the people are the reason I stay. I wanted to volunteer lots when I ditched the job, and the main criteria for where I give away my time is that it has to be with fun people who have a lot of integrity and I have to feel useful. This place does that.

I'm also working for one of my brothers...doing what I do best. Organize, write, problem-solve. I kinda pick what I want to work on and do it all from home. Amazing.

So I'm off to "work." Oh, meet Lucy. Our very fun standard red poodle.
