National Dog Day 2017
The alarm goes off earlier than on a weekday, but I’ve been awake for bit, paranoid about oversleeping. The light filtering through the blinds is cloudy and dim; Louisa is happily spooned, extra content because Hampton changed the sheets yesterday and the duvet is extra fluffy.

MoreTo Boldly Kill Where… Someone… Has Killed Before?
Last night, the Phoenix Theatre Co. brought the fantasy-and-sci-fi-themed murder mystery that we used to celebrate #jessip to our home at the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store.
