Hello Pittsburgh. You sure got hot while I was gone. I left my sunblock in California but I brought the saddle with me. Disappointingly, the cleaning gnomes did not visit my apartment while I was away, even though I left them quite a tempting mess to tackle. Buddy didn’t make it back with me either, but perhaps there is another dog out there for me, just waiting to make me sneeze. It’s good to see you again Superstar; if I can survive the last four days of my masters program, I know you can make it through next week. Let’s go to Erie. By then, you will have earned it.
