Fill us with the light of day

I finally have internet access on my computer again. Here is Nuschler in Wisconsin. You can see why he is my muse. Here also is Nusch with my new bud, John. We tortured the dog so much when he was a puppy (specifically so he would be fabulous around kids) that he does nothing but look annoyed when attacked by toddlers.

Side note. On Sunday, we sang Joyful, joyful, which is one of my favorite songs in all the world. I am a BIG fan of Ludwig. I once was hired because I answered the "why would you be a good _____?" questions with "I am not afraid of Beethoven". To move my soul, I listen to the soundtrack to Immortal Beloved in the dark.
