With that... life goes on. Contrary to my writing, the rest of my life has not been immobolized. If anything, activity and exercise has been instrumental in getting me back in a good state of mind. I had a great trip back east, bowled a 200, celebrated my Dad's birthday (and my parent's 37th anniversay tomorrow), secured some good new freelance work and have been spending time in the mountains with friends. I have some big events ready for the ensuing weeks, from century bike rides to triathlons to mountain climbs. Of course mountain biking is on the agenda too.
The big question I know some of you have is will I be getting a new dog. It's really hard to say. I've visited some awesome, awesome border collies from the rescue that I liked, but I'm still holding off for now. There's a lot of changes these days; my lease is up soon on my apartment and I have some logistics to consider plus Talus' illness was a big financial setback too. All that aside, I do feel if I click with a dog like I did with Talus, it'll be a no-brainer -- he'll be in my home in no time!
So... this will be my last Talus post for a long time. It's really time to say good bye, not just inside but also for the world at large. I know these posts are not particularly fun to read and they are hard to respond to; however everyone's love and support were greatly appreciated. Goofball video game posts, adventures, news of the wacky and so on-- they'll all be back soon.
Onward ---->
