1. Max can still run. Considering all the times over the past couple of years I thought the "early lameness" diagnosis was coming true, watching him disappear into the woods with Belle after a deer makes my heart soar! 2. After a year of posting an old piano on Craig's List, I finally…

This is a repost. I hope one day I can stop reposting it… Halloween is behind us.
