From Camus (I'm reading Robert Zaretsky's fine new biography):

"The misery and greatness of this world: it offers no truths, but only objects for love. Absurdity is king, but love saves us from it."

Forza!

In bocca al lupo!

This is the perverse advice that an Italian friend might give you when you're facing a mighty challenge.

Wondering why you're here?

Were you led here by a small card with photos of a few glorious canines? Try finding your name or description (maybe including where you work or hang out or haunt the streets) in the Occasional Log of Everyday Angels. Or plug key terms into the search box below.

Unless otherwise attributed, everything written here is Gretchen Icenogle's fault, with the proviso that all her best thoughts are spun from the brilliance of others.

Oh, and just a note regarding the "like" button on a blog with some pretty rough content. Gretchen likes to be liked, and would like you to know that she chooses, regardless of your intent, to interpret your "like" as a thumb's up to her writing and not to the sometimes alarming events described therein. But what she loves best is simply an audience. Thanks for being here.
