Tom Reed has also written a few shorts about his old dog that hit me directly in the heart, old softie that I am. <br /><br />As for geezerhood, your advice is appreciated. I'm looking at that next hill and keeping the feet moving forward.

Impressed enough as a mere lad that I can still recall the essence of the story. Congratulations on reaching 'junior geezer' status. Do not worry, there are those of us about seven laps ahead of you, closing in on true geezerdom, just keep looking toward the next hill, just don't stop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427075105751096394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-90100469782699684772014-09-10T08:25:05.551-04:002014-09-10T08:25:05.551-04:00Thanks, Justin.

The two have coincided quite nicely, most of the time. My goal is to keep a grasp on the best (and perhaps a little of the worst) of each as I continue to move along that trail.
