Coach: The sports fan

This little ball of cuteness is Coach. He’s a 3-year-old poodle-mix who rescued me two years ago. When I saw him at the shelter in Yuma, Ariz. I knew I was destined to give him his forever home. I’ve never known the absolute love and joy of any dog prior or any dog since – he really is my soul pup. While he’s a ball of energy who loves running in the park and chasing squirrels, he’s also perfectly happy cuddling and watching TV. In case you’re wondering: He’s not named after Coach, the luxury leather goods brand, but Coach Ditka from the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears.

RV travel in retirement? No thanks

I don’t know how it happened, but somehow my son is crazy. I mean, seriously crazy. Apparently, one time when Junior was 8 or 9, we drove past See Grins RVs and I said, “I’d love to get an RV and travel all over the place.” Somehow, that one, innocent remark turned into, “Once you move away to college, Dad and I are getting an RV and traveling the United States.” I know this because he came home last weekend and asked us when that was going to happen. (Side note: I’m sure it was because he missed me and not because he missed having clean underwear.)
