Pardon my absence. Me & substack have some trouble. Please know if you write, I read. My wish for you is simple - happiness (whatever, whyever, no matter what). Smart man said, "to exist is a gift," which I take as true. Don't always feel that way, but my lies are mine alone and matter nothing to the universe. Leonard seems a good friend to have.
Neil, it's so nice to hear from you. And absolute no apologies necessary - I have been "absent" in so many ways for so long now. I wish you happiness as well. And poetry in your head.
WP discontinued my theme and that meant when things started getting glitchy, I couldn't fix them - I had to start again from scratch. They have been helpful all these years, when I tried a storefront, etc., but ultimately it wasn't worth it to me to invest more time there. I get your posts in my email.
And my dog Stella - was also SUPER suspect of all men - particularly ones who wore baseball hats. And it took about two years for Stella to trust my husband. She & Leonard would be pals. 🫶

and... are you writing here now?
No, I still post on my old blog. Works fine. Substack is problematic for me. Worse than WP. Such is life.

I love your dog! I love the message your doggy has taught you. Bless Leonard! What a remarkable being. Thank you for sharing this beautiful essay.
Thank you for taking the time read!
I want to be pinned by Leonard!

Weird detail about the caps! They'd absolutely bond.
