So two new additions joined the family this evening. Jamie, Chris, and Mike have been wanting a dog or two since we moved to Tucson, so tonight we welcomed a brother and sister Husky-German Shepard mix pair of pups. Truman has been fairly hospitable.

They don’t have names yet but at two months old they’re full of energy. Here’s Truman saying hello to the sleeping sister of the pair.

We are eating lunch in a trendy restaurant. The windows and doors are open, the breeze is blowin’, the booze is flow in’, and it’s quite nice.

I’m trying out the Clips app on my iPhone. Apple makes making videos very, very easy.

It has been quite a week. A high point this week was when our new lounge chairs for the back patio were delivered. Don’t mind if I do.

I went hiking with our friend Matt on Saturday. We tackled a seven mile trail north of here, going through some beautiful landscape along the way. It was a great time and I look forward to going hiking with him and others again soon, at least before the weather gets too hot.

We’ve made some great friends here in Tucson. I’m happy to be able to spend time with them outside all year long.

I was asked by someone back East, “What’s a wash”?

I did not fly an airplane tonight. The weather here in Southern Arizona has turned cold and rainy. It’ll be back to desert like by the weekend.

I ended up working until 8:00 PM Mountain Time in an effort to keep up with all that’s going on at work. With war brewing on the other side of the globe, you have to wonder what’s important.

We went out for sushi. Since I didn’t bring my glasses along and I should be wearing them all the time, I ended up taking a photo of the menu so I could zoom in on my iPhone and decide on something to eat. The restaurant was quite nice and we had a good time. I had the Sachiko Special Roll with a side of fried rice. It was very good.

It’s Earl’s birthday weekend. We started the celebration yesterday with a stop at a local restaurant we’ve been wanting to go since moving to Tucson nearly a year ago. We finally had the opportunity to stop at The Barnyard Crafthouse and Eatery.

I’m enjoying living in a part of the world that has flowers blooming during the third week of February. This is a new experience for me.
