Today it was like a warm spring day out, so guess what Loucious and I were doing?  He would catch the frisbee, then plow through the leaves with it, repeating this continuously, while I just relaxed with a beer, soaking up the spring winter day.

Avdi and K were happily able to accomplish their medical mission in Illinois (still not as fascist as MO), so that was a victory.  Stacey and S arrived, and enjoyed meeting the dog, catching up on all the eventfulness, and everyone lounging around together.  Loucious was in dog ecstasy.  E had made a fabulous tres leches birthday cake for Stacey, and we toasted with Prosecco.  It ended up with Y, the dog, and me all piled up together on the sofa.
