Irene Returns

Hello friends! Ah, spring has sprung and Irene is lumbering out of hibernation. How are ye? I know it's been awhile and I apologize. You know how life can be so Z*a*N*y.

No doubt you have missed hearing of the antics of Irene and family. I think we left off somewhere around Owen Wilson's personal tragedy... Well, let me get you up to speed. We had a nice winter. Spent the yuletide in town but had a nice long weekend ski getaway with aunts, uncles, and cousins. Had a fabulous weekend with high school friends in NYC... Hmmm. What else? Busy heading up the chess club, and glad to report it is almost over for the year. Sing "glory, glory" for that. Sad to report that Haley Dog is failing. I feel as if I've been saying "it won't be long" for months, but she is a determined old sack of fur and bones. Despite her chronic weight loss, she continues to have a ravenous appetite for cuisine of all types. However, we all know she cannot survive much longer weighing no more than a guinea pig.

I will try to blog with more frequency. Until then, I wish you all well...

and Happy Passover to my Jewish homies.
