It’s the 1st snow and boy does it taste delicious. This snow is like a giant slurpy without the excess flavor or so the other dogs tell me.  It’s just the right temperature for a thirsty tongue like mine and is also so much fun to play in. I really don’t understand why my two-legged friends keep shoveling it away all I know is it creates greater hills for me to play in. Just a warning avoid the yellow version as this is something I left my mark in for as long as it stays on the ground. Snow the four-letter word I can’t get enough of.

“Slow Horses” on Apple T.V. is actually a fast-paced series at least that appears to be the case after the first two episodes.  Yes, there are moments where character development can happen at a quicker pace but mostly the horses are winning. For, there are quick turns that rapidly take you on a whole different journey.  “Slow Horses” is something that I think I’ll continue to ride in the upcoming weeks and if it works out this series will be deserving of 4 carrots.

We all need space even from our closest loved ones. Sometimes that space is as small as a different room other times it could be a whole different country. This doesn’t mean the line of communication has to be broken just have a dead zone every once in a while. You can agree to disagree without being disagreeable and find if not common ground areas you both can stand on. Esau and Jacob knew that their brotherly love was tricky so their closeness was what it could be.  G-D knows choosing the exact space can be difficult but always have the room to bridge that gap whenever possible.

You asked me why now? Well the “future death” monitor predicted I would be suffering a long painful death in only a month so why not end it before the pain began right? This way I lived life at the maximum and didn’t have to decline in front of loved ones.  It actually was very selfless as they would have spent incredible amounts of time, emotions, and monies to try and prevent the inevitable right? The only problem is the “future death monitor” had the wrong Jones in it’s program and now he’s suffering and I’m the one dead.

I’m sorry I don’t mean to disturb you for I know that RIP stuff but I just got to know where you left the keys? Okay, maybe that’s too much to ask but can you tell me which locker you left Stan’s file in?  Good, good locker 1-o-1 unfortunately the numbers only go up to 100. You’re still a jokester even from the grave. It sucks that you died and it also isn’t great you didn’t leave any instructions.

FOOTNOTE-  We never know the impact one has until the keys are lost forever.

I thought it would look like this (above) instead it looks like work.  Don’t get me wrong I’m sweating, losing weight, and gaining muscles but for some reason, I think I deserve to be paid instead of him.  He’s definitely coaching me but I didn’t release my exercise routine would be to move his boxes and sweep the floor. Well maybe it’s all in one’s perspective and since I’m in top-notch shape I guess it’s worth it I just don’t understand though how I got fired?

It’s if I’m completely stuck. I could be walking in a crowd and nobody would notice my footsteps. It appears I hear voices but none are directed at me.  I wonder if I exist or if I’m in some type of limbo maybe even a ghost and it’s only because I can’t think of what to write.

What are the traits you’re looking for in the next President to be?  Here are a few you might want to look at.

(1) Principal- Does the one who seeks the office hold onto principles based on their truth which only shakes if the evidence moves them too?

(2) Common Understanding- We may not reach “common ground” on an issue but can this leader explain a common understanding which allows narrows the differences?

(3) Listen- Is the candidate really willing to listen to others not only the words but the emotions that tell a bigger picture?

(4) Dedication- Will this individual be willing to dedicate their full time to this position forsaking many a vacation or golf outing?

(5)  Love- Is this a candidate who will lead based on their love of this country, its people, and its constitution?  Not to look to replace any of the three.

(6) Respect- Does this individual truly respect different points of view enough to hear their nuisances and implement aspects of them or their tone should the facts align with them?

(7) Position- Is this a position they desire for a plaque or one that seeks their unique perspective during this period of their life?

(8)  Modesty- Do they realize all the intricate parts, talents, and people needed to make any administration a successful one and respect those that take on such a challenge?
