I wanted a deerhound or a wolfhound for a long time. However, given the size of our house we had to settle for a dachshund (and a mini one at that).
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Yay Jessica & Ethan! May the nesting commence.
Please be safe, all you ice and snow having peeps.
Can I leave early because it is totally too beautiful a day to not be at the beach? It's not right to be at a desk with A/C blowing when it's 80F, partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. Not fair!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The US will soon get new dollar coins (again). These will feature pictures of all the dead presidents - each year, four more presidents will be introduced.
Some people think the presidents on the first four coins look pretty terrible: [link]
I think George Washington [link] looks angry, much like Willow's parents when she was getting ready for the (dream) play.

George will be released February 15 of this year.

Poor Vortex. You should take a couple mental health days to recover from the roof issues and come visit!

Jefferson at least has a bit of a grin.
Ha! You're right Dana.

Thrive to spite them
If the US really wants to switch over to dollar coins then they need to stop making dollar bills to force the switch.
Unless this isn't about changing currency and just making something for people to collect.

Exactly! Once they make everyone switch over to coins (and get the vending machine companies to accept them, as well), then they'll get full usage.
The boss just sent e-mail telling the two of us here at the suburban office to take off whenever we feel we have to. I told her I'll leave in an hour or so, while I can still see the roads somewhat clearly.
