A puggle

::babbles baby talk at the puggle picture::

I'm glad to hear that all the Minneapolis/St.Paul people are checking in. I have clear memories of the Skoharie Creek Bridge I-90 collapse and how scary it was to see the site afterwards. (My father was one of the engineers who investigated.) The I-35W bridge is a much, much larger disaster and my heart goes out to everyone.

OK, that is one cute puppy. There's one shot where she looks like she's about to mount her campaign for world domination.

Happy Anniversary, MM & Aimee!

Happy Anniversary to the Miracleborns!!

Also-- a PUGGLE!!!!!!1!!!

I mainlined 2 seasons of Dr. Who in 2 weeks, was broken, and then started on the second season of Twin Peaks. I now keep imagining Dale Cooper as the Doctor with Audrey (or Sheriff Truman) as his companion.

mac is almost completely off the prescription pain killer which is awesome. The week has gone by really fast though and I am not sure he is ready for full days back at summer school. I think I will talk with the parentals tonight about staying longer and maybe starting him back for half-days next week.

Glad to hear he's swiftly recovering! It's awesome your parents can help out.

Yay mac.

OMG, I came into work all raring to go, got a couple of things done, but now I am CRASHING.

Happy Anniversary y'all!!!

I really want to go back home an crawl into bed.

Heh. In honor of shark week, the following is from Gilbert Arenas' blog (which, btw, looks like it's a hoot):

There Are No Such Thing as Shark Attacks

I know this is random, but I just want to clear this up for people out there.

There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack.

I know you’re making a weird face as you’re reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as.

We’re humans. We live on land.

Sharks live in water.

So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.

A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack.

The real reason I shouldn't travel for business: I don't want to go home and crawl into bed, I want to go to a hotel and crawl into bed. Unlimited a/c! Many many pillows! Super white sheets! Etc.

A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack.

"....Plumber, ma'am."

"I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?"

"Candygram."

"Candygram, my foot! You're the shark, and you know it!"

"I'm only a dolphin, ma'am..."
