After I closed out yesterday’s journal and prior to bedtime, I became really concerned about Toby’s farts…REALLY BAD! Concerned I might wake up to a soiled carpet, I put him in the back yard. Yeah, I knew it mean an extra wake-up overnight, but it was the lesser of two evils.

Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
