I think I showed a picture of Tarka, our long-haird Akita dogger at Spumoni South.

I finalized plans to instruct in CT the week before Thanksgiving. I'll be arriving on Saturday, November 12 since the plane ticket isn't more expensive to fly out early this time. I need to deliver the Chimps' Christmas preseant early since Santa misrouted it here. Should I (and the gift) make it safely the Chimps no longer need a Nintendo Gamecube, extra controller, the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Maker, and a 32 MB memory card. John you better watch out for Zelda. The Nintendo 64version was addictive and surely added to the need for my carpal tunnel surgery.

I apologize for not blogging sooner I've been teaching attending training most of the last three weeks. You'd think that eventually I'd earn a free room from all of this travel but so far I have is what looks like a respectable number of points. Looks can be deceiving. Maybe the three trips I have planned later this year will push me over the top.

Will you quit hogging all the rain on the east coast? We're in a drought here!
