and then this happened.

My grandparents dog died yesterday. My gramps built a coffin and dug a grave. Gramps, Bill, Hub, and I got him in the ground after way more work than any of us anticipated. We said goodbye and I filled in his grave. It was really strange but felt oddly satisfying. Being able to care for Barney one last time felt right. If I hadn't chosen this weekend to come home, they never would have been able to do this, so it felt universal. This year has been awful and I'm really ready for a fresh start.

Haven't looked at tumblr in a minute but hi. I just got back after THE BEST VACATION. Went to Denver, Boulder, and finally, Estes Park to see Murder By Death play at The Stanley hotel. Ya know, the one Stephen King stayed in that inspired the shining. I saw lots of great art work, ate great food, had the best bourbon I've ever drank (Laws!), tried lots of good beer, legally bought weed snacks, spent 5 days with 2 wonderful friends and got to see my favorite band for the 21st time! I also quit smoking and I've moved from angry about it to pretty sure I can do this. Hope your 2016 is going well, Internet.
