I arrived in SC late last night. Thanks to those of you who’ve emailed me welcome back notes. Initial reactions upon re-entry into the American imperium: everyone is big, loud, and friendly.
In other news, my family got a new dog today. (Arne, the long-serving and beloved familial canine, passed away at an advanced age a few months back.) Here’re some pics of the new pooch.
Say hi to Sammy, a seven-month-old Golden Retriever. In addition to his abundant good looks, he’s incredibly even-tempered and generally low-maintenance (for a puppy). Although on the downside he slobbers a lot when he drinks and he seems to be afraid of stairs. Pics are below.
And finally: Have you been watching the World Cup, which commenced today? I have some things to say on the subject. Which I shall do in my next post.
