I don’t know quite what to make of this dog, Jeep.  He belongs to Kelly’s cousin Tommy, and he came Jeep (in neutral) to visit Beagle Man and the missus out at Montauk last week.  Quite honestly, he wasn’t exactly what I’d ca…

Stella! My mom’s name was Stella.  She died in 1996, and I still miss her a lot.  I’ve always loved the name Stella, and have hinted to all my sons that it would be nice if they named a girl after my mom — but based on the fa…
