Chief: Comfortable and confident during his interview Interviewed Chief, Scott’s husky, earlier this week at Acme headquarters in South Norwalk.  I’d have to say it went quite well.  I ate some chips in his presence, and the …

Could somebody check on the Beagle Man for me?  I think he’s losing it.  I understand his going to Norwalk B-Man with Dante the Beagle to meet a German Shepherd, and to Greenwich to meet a Husky — and even to New Paltz to mee…

Scott’s Husky, Chief. We’re big UConn fans . . . a husky . . . hmm . . . “Have I missed a blog?” asked Marcia in an e-mail.  And from Bernice:  “Didn’t get your blog this week?” The fact is, I haven’t posted since May 17th — …

Earmuffs, Ricky I honestly think it’s okay that I’ve started thinking/talking about my next dog.  Here’s how I see it.  Had I just gotten a divorce, let’s say, or become widowed, and then I showed up with a new wife 3 weeks l…

Ricky audits Writing Club I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned that last fall I started an after-school writing club for students at Bryant Elementary School in Bridgeport.  We’ve been meeting every Thursday since then, and some of…
