Luky's Back From Florida - Happy New Year

He promises to attack the world of ideas with vigor in 2006, but he says that he really needed some time off.

The highlight, as he reports, was visiting with his cousin, Barney (photo). Barney is always a great host - ready to share his rawhide chews, his water bowl, walks, poop bags, and just about everything else - with the expressed exception of his Daddy's couch!

Luky enjoyed the entire weekend. I must admit he held his partying to a minimum and agreed not to beat everyone at Chess and Tripoley. We'll see if he can maintain his currently calm and cordial demeanor or if he's just setting me up for ruder awakenings.

For now, however, he and I both say, "Happy New Year! Welcome 2006!!"
