Carpe Diem, Pacers!\n\nBotero Plaza\nMedellín, La Candelaria, Colombia \nMarch 2, 2026\n\nFernando Botero Angulo (19 April 1932 – 15 September 2023) was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor.His signature style, also known as \"Boterismo\", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece.

Carpe Diem, Pacers!\n\nGroton, Massachusetts \nFebruary 3, 2026\n\nFor those of you who haven’t met them yet, these are my beloved dogs. Paloma, a Westiepoodle, is very intelligent and the oldest at 19 years. Recently, she’s lost her sense of distance, and her jumps have become longer and longer. Smokey, a Lhasa Apso, loves cuddling but has a temper. He’s 15 years old and can barely walk anymore. Ash, an Aussiedoodle, is the largest and youngest, only five years old. She enjoys playfully biting to keep us safe from strangers. Sadly, Manolo, a West Highland White Terrier, passed away in November 2021. He was incredibly sweet, extremely stubborn, and independent. He peacefully passed away at home.
