Hey folks. Benji, the Wonder Dog here, but you can call me Benji the Wonder Dog.
After the January Lost Lagoon fiasco, where my Gran Hoomins tried to steer me, this time I am going to steer this boat where I want to go. My Hoomin B is often more understanding than my Gran Hoomins.
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Always a joy to hear from Benji the Wonder Dog. I saw a dog that looked a bit like him, but taller and definitely not as cute!
Thanks Bernie. We also found it strange that they would all nest in one place like that. I guess they are very communal. It was quite the sight and sound. That many blue herons really make a mess on the walks below. Thanks for reading Bernie. Allan

The dog dialogue and captions are cute! Interesting that the herons seem ok inside a city. The one that nests north of here is super skiddish
