Well I’m on the plane. And I complained last time about having to be up at 4. Try getting up at 2:30. It was an interesting experience. Like I said, Steve’s mom was nice enough to drive me to the airport. But she had to go to another terminal than me. So I had made …

New Dog, Here We Come!
Well…tomorrow I get on a plane. Yup, that long awaited March 24 is tomorrow. I’m getting a ride to the airport (thank you Steve’s mom) so that means 3 a.m. I’ll be leaving. Yee ha! Guess who’s not sleeping tonight? We’re definitely seeing signs that this pooch is going to come. I have hooks in …
Let’s Get Anka Back Home.
Update: Anka has been located and returned to her family. God I hope this never happens to me. This is all the info I have. One of Guide Dogs for the Blind’s Guide Dogs was lost on 3/7 in Garland, TX. “Anka” is a 5 year old, female Black Lab. She escaped from her yard …
Life, The Universe, CSUN, Trixie, Guide Dog Class, And Everything
Here I am again…much sooner than last time but still taking a long time between posts. CSUN was amazing. Damn I wish I could go every year. And I really didn’t get to see much of the exhibit hall since I was in so many sessions. It was weird basically having to make your own …

Come See Me Today For A Dan Good Keel
Well damn it all…or maybe I should say Dan it all. Before I left for CSUN, Steve’s sister said that she heard that Dan of Dan’s Discount Windows and Doors died suddenly. For anyone not close to here, that wouldn’t mean a whole lot. But he has a huge warehouse that sells…well…windows and doors, and …
Sing For Your Samsung, Be A Motormouth For Your Motorola!
I have more posts, but I felt like I needed to put this one up because it was just too weird. I’d been having trouble sleeping, and that sort of thing just can’t go on for long without all kinds of nasty things happening to me. So I tried a bit of melatonin to see …

Will think of you, J!
We’ve mentioned our friend J before…usually in funny stories from long ago, and in the context of him being an awesome parolympic runner. Here’s another story about his awesomeness. He’ll donate a kidney to his wife. Ever since 2008, her kidneys have slowly deteriorated, and a few months ago, she had to go on dialysis. …
Dirty Rat…Poison
Here’s another scary one that I saw on a mailing list. If you use rat poison near or around your house, you might want to find out if its active ingredient is bromethalin. The reason being, there is no antidote and your pet could die a lot faster. The EPA made regulations against anticoagulants being …
Poor Pepper No Longer Has Pep
Here’s a small post that I really wanted to get up there. There’s more of the great beast of a post to go, but this one would be quick and easy. When I got Trix, mid-way through class, I got a sheet called “fun things about my puppy.” They read it to me, and it …
The Second Installment of Here’s Where I’ve Been For The Last Stretch Of Time
And, if you’re not bored yet, this thing keeps rollin’. Random observation: There are all of these either police cars or firetrucks that we always hear that have sirens like in Indiana Wants Me. What’s up with that? I’ve never heard so many sirens that sound like that…anywhere. They sound ancient. I’m afraid that anything …
