Yeah, not my favorite subject. Today we're clearing out most of the books because, apparently, too many books make house hunters nervous.

HOWEVER. Instead of dwelling or ranting or bemoaning anything to do with the preceding sentence, here's a photo of something pure and wonderful.

It's the Big Dog chasing -- and catching! -- a tennis ball on a warm and sunny afternoon in Bluffs Park, all 110 pounds of him triumphant and (I think, anyway) filled with joy.

Yay! Happy ending!
