I'm waiting on the lad to get back from a football trip so I can pick him up.  He coaches, and since we're isolated in the desert, about 3/4 of the games are 3+ hours away.  I'm guessing I have at least another 2 1/2 hours to wait..joy.

 My neighbor dog has not shut up for more than 5 minutes for over two hours. Aesop, who is reactive to barking dogs on his best day, is driving me insane.  Seriously, I'm ready to drop him off for boarding.
