This is "Sturgis," my little 13 year old, deaf, one-eyed Pekingese. He's been "on the road" with me when I played music full-time, he's lived in a camper, a van, the mountains, the desert, seen the ocean, rafted a river, ridden a Harley, floated on a ferry, been ice fishing, seen nearly as much of this country as I have. He wakes up happy and ready to do some more.
