We have a crazy terrier mix named Ryder who does bizarre things. Now he’s getting older, though, and it’s a sad sight to watch pass by. He’s the last of the five we had for years, three that lived indoors, and two that lived outside in a kennel when they weren’t out playing, dealing drugs on the street. I miss those days when we still had all five, even though caring for them took some work.
I was going to write a column about Bob Dylan since he turned the big 80 Monday, but where is there to write that hasn’t already been written. Only thing I can say is, it’s nice to have been born during a time when I could enjoy his early stuff when it came out, after becoming a huge fan circa ’72. It’s been an uphill ride from there. Now I have to go listen to “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” for today’s writing inspiration (thanks, Mickey).
