Today’s photos are totally about my long and unique day.

I was on the road from 8:45 am to about midnight. My wife and I drove from Columbus, Ohio to outside of St. Louis and back today – about 825 miles round trip.

It was worth it though, because we adopted this amazing, five year old pooch named Lucy!

I’m too whipped to say more than these three brief things:

First, it’s the first dog that my family has ever owned – so a whole new world for us.

Second, she is such a fun, friendly, laid-back dog and I know she’s going to be great for us.

Third, I was almost completely news-free today and that actually felt pretty darn good!
