Okay. I was walking our 35-pound, blond smiley half Chow-half Eskimo dog this morning (which was nice--I haven't felt up to walking her the last few mornings). She pounced on something, then leaped back. I thought she'd been stung by a bee, but she pounced again and when she jumped back, I saw it was a grasshopper. She watched it jump, then went over and sniffed it carefully from head to toe. After that she wagged her tail, went in front of it and MADE A PLAY BOW. Yes, my dog asked a grasshopper if it wanted to play. She is such a sweetheart--she loves every cat and dog she has ever met. And now insects.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cutehead doggie.

DANA: Dude, we're the Buffistas. We invented redundant.
VICTOR: Bears repeating.
GANDALFE: If I recall and remember correctly, we also created it.
DANA: This is what I'm saying.
Heh.
