Tutu and all
I was showing Rich a video from Mishka the Talking Husky some time ago. He was convinced that Sascha could learn to do this trick. So over the last few weeks, Rich has been working with Sascha to do a trick called Twist. She gets a bit of cheese when she does it well enough. […]

March in like a Lion
Winter again?!? Tuesday, it snowed again. I planned ahead this time though. I ended work at home on Monday, so I had to go into the office on Tuesday. My plan was to stay at the office until the snow started and then go home. I had a meeting at 10:30 and no snow yet. […]

Day 6 through Day 13 of New Garage: Build it and they will come
This has been Day 6 through Day 13 without much change in the backyard. Maybe that’s the other way around though. They will come and build it. Monday is scheduled as the first day of framing.

End of September already?
Last week, someone said that they would see me at Christmas. I was thinking it was still a ways away. Not! How could it be the end of September already? I just went on vacation (back in May) and we just had the pig roast (back in June). I know, I know. Only an old […]
