So, the holiday weekend is over, effectively ending the summer vacation season.  We did the typically American thing yesterday – we went to the Chinese Buffet (fortunately, there were none of Marc’s “Fat Marshals” – or Jim Earl – to hover disapprovingly around the sneeze guards, scowling). Poor Siggy didn’t get to have much fun, though I did take him for a walk through the woods and over to the school near my in-laws’ house.  He had to stay on the leash, though, since there were a bunch of damn people around, and you can never tell how they’ll react to an 80 pound dog running full speed in their direction (not that he really cares about them – he’s mostly oblivious to humans, unless they come to the house).

So, anyway, today is back to work for those with jobs, and a day of reckoning for me, as I scamble to make up for all the shit I should have gotten done the last week or so.  And if Siggy doesn’t get out to the park today, he’s liable to nose-poke me to death.

See ya.
