I told my mom if I ever get another dog I wanted to name him Ozzy Pawsborne Prince of Barkness. Mom said it's named after an evil singer and trying everything she can go get me to choose anothe...

transcribed from my bed notebook. It’s getting light. Another day. Opportunity. (word I can’t read, looks like ‘theat’) Retribution. I need to pee. And see if the dog ran amok. Brush...

Our three days in Oslo were fun. There were some very cold days, but we were prepared. Our hotel was very high up and had a view of the city that almost looked fake. It was never sunny enough ...

I didn't do much today.  I meant to be more productive than I was, but I don't think I got there.  I can't even say that I tried.  I suppose I just went through the motions.  Maybe I was tire...
