My day started with a blaze of glory, before settling back into grey dampness:

After taking its portrait, I promptly pulled it up and tossed it in the trash bin so Dozie couldn't make a snack of it. Can I just say that I would love to smuggle my little snuggle-bug Dozer along in a (heavy) carry-on? I'm going to miss him. I'll miss Jackson, too, but Jackson has too much fun with his doggy buds at my friend's house to miss us. Dozer, on the other hand, has had so much upheaval in his young life that I hate to confuse him with yet another transition, however temporary. Dogs don't understand temporary.
It's been a busy day doing the usual
and crossing things off the "Must do before trip" list. I now have two WIPs (knitting works in progress), which should give me plenty of travel knitting, but I may throw in a ball of sock yarn as well. It would be a shame to waste one minute of potential "travel knitting" time! I'm going to have to take my laptop and work on jobs for a couple clients as well - which will let me keep up with email and blogs. Unfortunately, we are staying at the high-end hotel where Rick's meetings are being held. Why is it that affordable accommodations offer free wi-fi, while the high-end ones
