Hey, homedogs. It's been a long few wee... actually, months, hasn't it? Whether we've been stuck inside due to weather, circumstances, or, in my case, both... a range and rage of feelings have probably come up. If they haven't, I would feel (ha) shocked.

Am I leaving TV behind?
Hey, guys! Might I say that this new website is looking... oh-so-new-and-clean-and-fresh? Anyway, let's get right to today's blog "topic".
