"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.” ― William G.T. Shedd

     The above quote, one of Dean's favorites, applies to boats as well, I presume.  I went to a painting party yesterday.  My boat looks precarious and haunted, but at least it looks like a boat, so maybe I am improving.

     This is my running buddy, Charleigh dog.  Today starts year 3 of my/our running streak.  Also, she is turning 5 in a week or so (guesstimate, as she was a rescue).  Happy Birthday Charleigh.
