The new puppy is gone today, gone to work with my wife. I have a moment to reflect and think about what is ahead and behind as the new year starts. I've been preoccupied with precious Finley. Its a find name for a little dog, it means dragon slayer, fierce fighter in the old Irish. Of course I think I'm the only one left, the place is itchy and infested with Euro-trash and Wokesters..
