Kickass, the doorstop dog, turns it over to the keeper on this Jan. 17,  2025, as he enjoys morning coffee with Phyllis, reads a bit of poetry and announces that he is happy to be here!

John Wick, then in his 90s, rode his bike to have dinner with the keeper on his Mazomanie deck. It was a great evening!

OLD MEN 

People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when…
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.

Ogden Nash
