“Be a good dog. Don’t boop my laptop with your snout,” I said.
“What should she boop it with?” asks Jackie.

Ashley (just visible behind Jackie) likes shifting from the sunny places to the shady places every few minutes. Jackie, on the other hand, enjoys sitting in the sun (as I do). #dogsofmastodon
Ashley, Jackie with a martini, and my beer.

Jackie and I now have a new li’l pupper. Meet Ashley, a 7-month old black lab mix from the Champaign Humane Society:

Me: Well, I was once again passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize. I’d KILL for one of those!
Jackie (sighing): No, you wouldn’t.
Me: No, I wouldn’t. But I would make that joke EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Jackie (sighing again): Yes, you would do that.
Yesterday at the Blind Pig I filled my growler with their India Brown Ale. Not exactly the hoppy porter I have yearned for, but as close as I’ve found. @jackieLbrewer is drinking the same.

A very nice hike with @jackieLbrewer along the Trillium Trail in Giant City State Park.
I think she was having a good time.

We can haz coffee. Breakfast in the Giant City Lodge with @jackieLbrewer.

Cocktail hour in the Giant City Lodge. I’ve got a Galaxy IPA from Big Muddy Brewing. @jackieLbrewer has a fancy Brooklyn with Minor Case Rye.
