Last year, as some of my friends can attest, a beach ball appeared in my front yard around November. We watched it for many weeks and wondered how well it would survive the coming winter. Before winter came however, the ball vanished. I figured at the time the wind must have blown it away. We Read More …

Tanner is growing like weed! He’s doubled his weight since we got him. He now, since we moved his crate out of room, sleeps through the night from about 11:30 to 7:45. He’s getting the hang of house training and can sit, shake and lay down. He loves to run and chew on pretty much Read More …

In getting ready for my trip to Costa Rica I have ordered and received this little toy: Stowaway XT Ultra-Thin Keyboard. I hope to use my iPAQ to write down blog entries as the trip proceeds. I just opened up the box and it’s an impressive little feat of engineering.
