Olympics and Dog Whisperer
I must confess I haven't been watching the Olympics like i have in the past...it seems every time I tune in, its hockey, or curling, or ice dancing...I have caught Apolo Anton Ohno fast skating, which I always find interesting because you dunno how it'll turn out...I saw some long jumping and freestyle skiing...I did watch as much of the half pipe as I could..but sorry - last night was reserved for '24' and the next few nights i'll kinda listen in on 'American Idol' while I work (lots of spacers to be made! chop chop)...But I've been TiVoing Dog Whisperer to help me learn how to train Lady, and I'm learning alot...we've ordered a pair of the cool new Land Rollers that Cesar wears when he wants a dog to run and wear himself out...Brian will be rolling up and down the streets with a dog dragging him...should be fun! And ironically, Apolo Anton Ohno is a consultant on these skates too...
I have a lunch date with my previous boss tomorrow, haven't seen him in the 3 years since I left my old company, so this will be fun, I'm sure...I do keep up with some of the folks who I worked with, but mostly I work in my cave and don't see the outside world much..its really interesting- you'd think since i work from home that I'd be out and about, but I really don't get out...I stay home and work! When Brian and I are out on the weekends, I always stare in shock at the changes in the city - new construction, road work, shops that have opened, restaurants that have closed...if it weren't for my silversmithing classes on tuesday, I'd never get out...at least this is a good excuse for me to start my car once a week and get gas in it...Not that I'm complaining, I'm not...but I envisioned that I'd be much more 'city aware' when I worked from home, and now its just the opposite...course, if I was out and about, I wouldn't get any work done and you'd never hear from me...so its probably a good thing...

OH MY GOSH those Land Rollers look sooooo fun!!! I know I'd end up hurt in 30 seconds flat though! I hope Brian has a blast with them!

uh oh...i never said anything was wrong with any of those sports...don't go sending me any mail bombs or bags of flaming dog poo now...all I said was, when I want to watch the Olympics, that's what's on...I'm just not into watching Norway and Latvia play hockey against one another..I WAS glad to see the women's hockey team receive their Bronze medals yesterday, tho...good for them...

I promise not to throw flaming poo. But around our house, any hockey is good hockey, even if it's Norway v. Latvia.
(Nice cover tho--. It's ok not to be a hockey fan but I'll never understand it.)
