A couple of days ago, I rattled his leash for the first time in quite a while and he came running.

we went for a little walk, no big deal, no real SEC adventure, but as a local Gendarme drove by, I noticed a smirk on his face.

I think his days as a SEC are numbered. If he's doing well this Christmas, I might take him to the mall with my cane and shades and get his picture taken with Santa.

We'll see.

Sorry to hear the SEC isn't doing very well.   I can almost see you guys raiding Wholey's.  Give the SEC a little scratch for me.

btw...hope you are winning the battle against the tobacco.

I'm still doing Skoal Bandits as needed. In a while I'm going to a non-nicotine pouch similar to the bandits.

Truth is, I gotta make a run to where I grew up and take a walk to the cemetary and visit a few of my mentors before this is behind me. I've been putting it off, but I have to do it.
