So it’s a work-from-home day, which means I’m sitting at the kitchen table with our dog Norma a few feet away.
Today, Norma placed herself atop some blankets. So, being a kindly dog owner, I wrapped her up, then watched every now and then as she leaned over, happy as could be. I decided the scene was too lovely not to share, and I snapped her photo and Tweeted it out, along with the caption LAZY DAY FOR NORMA. See, like this …
Three minutes after Tweeting I began an hour-long Skype session with students from the University of Illinois. So I stepped away from social media, chatted, then returned.

Oh, shit.
My stupid iPhone, with it’s ever-malfunctioning keypad, led me to the darkest of places.
Alas, Norma is fine and dandy.
I promise.
I’m good.
