Is anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me.

Apparently, the blog world shuts down the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means that—though I'm at work—I don't really have to blog. But I'm so neurotic that I can't not blog, which is somewhat pathetic. However, today I'll be pithy and basically unavailable, so I'll seem as cool as the other bloggers.

So a day after the day of giving thanks, here's a heartwarming story about a depressed man whose therapy dog, Melody, was stolen and missing for weeks. She was finally found, and is now back with her owner, who says he hasn't been depressed since he first got her many years ago.

The cool kids are just pretending not to care about blogging. Posers. ;)

we are indeed out there -- though i was lucky enough to be off work friday and instead spent it at home with my own treasured "companion dog."
