Remi

Welcome to some very recent Remi experiences on Corn Hill Beach in Truro. The first picture you will notice has a bespeckled pup. Why? Because my dear friend, Michael Maso, brought me up on a missing part of my childhood, namely, the cartoon Mr. Peabody and Sherman. When you read the description below, you will see how apt the relationship is. There is no doubt that Remi, whom I obviously adore, is like Mr. Peabody, the far more sagacious partner in the relationship.  I hope you enjoy her, and delight in her, as I do, as my entire family does. Whenever I am stressed, she is empathically at my side, and regardless of what side of the bed I wake up on each morning, our early morning runs on the beach put me in the right frame of mind to meet the challenges of the day. This posting will be updated more frequently than any other! This entry hopefully brings a smile to your face and makes it conclusive that this is not a LinkedIn, but a beloved community.

To those of you who really know me, you will recognize how accurate this is!

Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished canine in the world, and his boy, Sherman, use a time machine called the Wabac to embark on outrageous adventures. However, when Sherman takes the Wabac without permission to impress his friend Penny, he accidentally rips a hole in the universe and causes havoc with world history. It's up to Mr. Peabody to mount a rescue and prevent the past, present and future from being permanently altered.
