talbotlucas.org: a word to the wise is sufficient

I came across this photo of Queen Elizabeth's corgis (and dorgis--corgi/dachshund mixes) deplaning at Heathrow and had to smile. The third corgi from the top of the photo reminds me of Wallace: When going down stairs Wallace often gets a careful look on his face, and his ears go a little horizontal. If that expression reflects real care, it's probably a good thing, since corgi bodies aren't quite suited for trotting down steep stairs. Wallace loves bounding up stairs, though, usually taking them two at a time and turning around at the top with a big "here I am!" smile.

Today's been an unusually hectic day. Aside from a lot of comings and goings on our block, we welcomed Mr. Doody, long-time friend of talbotlucas.org, for dinner. He's now en route to the airport with Terrence, so this (9:05pm) is the first time Wallace has really settled down for a nap. I suspect that after Terrence returns and Wallace has had a final walk and a bit of night air he'll be in deep slumber mode for the rest of the night.

Lots of things on my agenda for this week, including Law Review work and exam prep, so details of the fantastic cheese we found at The Cheese Shop will be coming soon but not tonight. Those of you who read us regularly might recall my praise of the sundried tomatoes prepared by Dominick. I haven't been making my regular Thursday visits because this semester, Thursday is my busiest and longest day of the week, so my cheese talk with Dominick yesterday afternoon was long overdue. His recommendations--and a new batch of his tomatoes--more than made up for the long intermission. Fantastic! Photos and more details to come.
