  Sunny sun clean blue wind day. Four-eye-two-legged food giver take me out to chase little roll balls that no smell of life. It fun! I run and run and kill ball! I also roll in bones of chicken, so that other dog think I kill the chicken, but I no kill the chicken! I…

Unfortunately, the investment fund that I manage on behalf of Rachelle and I, has not been doing as well as I would like. Normally, my fantasy sports team– A Fury of Pigeons– finishes in the money, but for the last little while my teams have been underachieving, and the revenues I had hoped to be…

  I’ve been pretty demoralized ever since the Tiger Woods scandal broke. I thought he was THE MAN, and now I know that he is just a man. I have taken down two of my Tiger Woods posters, (the third one, located in the kitchen, looks too good to remove, I think. Dude, looks awesome…

Most nights, just before dinner, I take Heidi– our Miniature Dachshund– over to Jimmy Simpson Park. It’s now dark at this time, but the lights at the tennis courts come on at 6:30, and this, combined with the ambient light of the neighbourhood, is usually enough to partially illuminate a portion of the park.
