It’s one of those days:  I’m hitting every red light.  One after the other, pieces of bad news hit me with that ugly mix of stomach-dropping dread and resignation.  My eReader, open to Echo, falls to the ground and flashes.  Grinding whine of prop planes overhead.  I look up.  Dogs of all sorts; large, small, puppies, old fellas, terriers, labradors-they’re parachuting towards me with the express purpose of tackling me and cheering me up.  They all have doggles, and their mouths are open in huge, panting smiles.  Bad day vanquished.
