Stopping By To Visit Wally (And His Pets)



I stopped by to visit my friend and former University of Denver Bookstore co-worker Wally at his home last night and talked with him about what's happening at the DU Bookstore (Wally still works there) as well as all the trips he and his wife Linda have taken recently.  Since Wally didn't feel in a photographic mood, I took a few photos of his dog Sailor and cat Stella, just to have something to put on the blog.  They are both really nice animals, and very friendly, but whenever Wally and Linda go out of town, they have to hire a pet sitter, which to me would be a pain, but that's just me.  In any case, Wally is a homebody, and much prefers to stay home and read in his library or do some woodworking in his workshop, which used to be the garage (as his wife Linda likes to frequently point out).  In any case, for somebody who doesn't like to travel , Wally and Linda have done a lot of it this summer and fall - a trip to Cape Cod to stay at the family summer home, a weekend trip to Martha's Vineyard to attend a wedding, a trip on the Queen Elizabeth II to Scandinavia for a family reunion/cruise, and  a trip to the Colorado/New Mexico border for a day trip on the Cumbres and Toltec Narrow Gauge Railway, which Wally seemed to like best of all.  In any case, he is done with trips for a while (he hopes), and glad of it. Back to the woodworking shop.  Good to see you again, Wally!
