Here’s an article that caught my fancy (I dunno, maybe thinking about the pup). All about Animal Hoarding. For most people, the term “animal hoarding” conjures up images of an eccentric “cat lady.” Despite the stereotype that collecting animals is simply a quirky behavior, recent research has pointed to a direct correlation between psychological problems…
Puppy Update
Update on the puppy front. Found a home for it on Craigslist. I actually received several responses and was quite pleased that so many dog lovers were interested. Ahh, now it’s time to relax.
CSS – Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above
I know I’m about a year behind, but I just recently discovered my new favorite band, the Brazilian combo Cansei de Ser Sexy. Just one listen to their single, “Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above” and you’re hooked. That song is great but their debut album rocks! I particularly like “Alala” and…
Puppy Love
What a week! I never thought I’d look forward to my office job as a place to get away from it all. Compared to home, it’s a tropical vacation!! Last Thursday, the day before my birthday, who shows up on our doorstep except for a cute, little stray puppy? Now it won’t go away. So,…
Hindenburg Memories
This weekend marks the 70th anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster in Lakehurst, New Jersey. Reminds me of back when I was a kid. I was really into the Hindenburg for some reason, even if I didn’t totally understand what it was all about. There was a shop in my hometown that sold little plastic models…
Interesting Things
Here are some things that are interesting to me at the moment: 1. Mountain biking with clipless pedals. Haven’t rode in a while. Got all tangled up with scuba thing during the winter. Now that it’s spring, I dusted off the Gary Fisher and put the cleats back on. Been riding around Oak Cliff in…
Diving the Dam
Drove down to Austin this past weekend with the Gibson family for another round of Lake Travis scuba diving. This time, I broke the 100 ft barrier for the first time out on Windy Point. Let me tell you, it was dark, cold and the visibility was shit. But the experience of going beyond that…
Celebrating in Dallas
I haven’t worn contact lenses in almost seven years but I decided to throw my lot back in with the lensed this week. Signed up for an eye exam and I’m wearing a pair of test lenses for a week. Yesterday was the first day and I must admit it was a little bit uncomfortable….
Scuba Weekend…and a Spring Blizzard
Took advantage of my Easter vacation time at work to head down to Austin to do a little diving at Lake Travis. Mike Gibson and I left town around 8pm Thursday night and made our way through the traffic to North Austin where we stayed at Layne and Kendra’s. This was my first time diving…
Rosie’s Views
I must say I’m really surprised at the amount of controversy surrounding Rosie O’Donnell‘s recent 9/11 Truth comments on ABC’s The View, although I’m not surprised about the pummelling she’s taking for them. I never really thought much about ol’ Rosie until she started speaking out on this subject…something that is apparently a no-no in…
