Ever have a dog that has passed on? If so, you miss that dog, don't you. Dogs are such wonderful creatures, such perfect examples of unconditional love.  I'm mostly a cat person, but of the few dogs who have shared parts of my life, I miss them all. If you have a dog, give it some attention. Watch that tail wag with joy. Smile.  -- doug smith

how do you do it? i'd like to know because it would make it all so much easier it seems to come naturally to you like getting off a bike or combing your hair and you never seem to give it much thought while i can't seem not to how do you do it? because after all this time and so many hard, rough lessons i still have not learned how is it an affliction? is it a choice? befuddled. ruffled. resolute. stuck. tightly held yet no longer held dropped like a rock into a still pond that stays still how do you do it? how do you stop loving someone? -- doug smith 15 July 2019

i am powerfully attracted to strong coffee, strong whiskey and strong women and so far strong coffee has never hurt me although i may drown myself in it, to stay up thru the night to face the morning without her because trying to sleep is stupid and trying to get over it is bad advice so what's to do? when the person i'd ask asks for space? could i be the strong one resilient, resolved? remembering some mysteries will never be solved so make me a strong one with whiskey and black and i will be waiting when that woman comes back -- douglas brent smith (c) 2016
