i checked the LIVE LOON CAM one last time before going to bed, and i can see her again. it’s very nice to be here in the warm house, instead of being a loon sitting out on a nest up in minnesota with the snow falling and the wind blowing. ok then, goodnight,...

mollie and i made a special video for her birthday. she actually didn’t want to sit with me on the couch because she prefers her own personal space. but she still likes me enough to tolerate me singing to her for her 10th birthday.
