Charlie definitely smelled “wild” when he was a baby – his scent was very strong and, forgive my indecency, he smelled like sex. That’s all I can compare it to. Within months his smell faded, and now his natural scent is quite subtle. I was just sniffing him and and have to say he smells like roasted hazelnuts.
A different photo of Charlie will appear here every time you visit the blog.

Sometimes, I really struggle with coming up with titles for Charlie’s pictures. This was one of those – I simply could NOT think of a good title for this photo.
Mike came into my office and I said, “I need a title for this! What is the title?!”
And he said, “Off the beaten path.”
And I said, “But… is it really? He’s only like a foot off the beaten path.”
And we both started laughing because we are sleep deprived.
And then I thought about it a little more, and realized, in this culture that desperately wants/needs us all to keep in line and tries to coerce us to stay on a path prescribed by others, being just a few steps off the beaten path can be an accomplishment. And that is worth celebrating. And thus, the title was decided.
