    HUMPH. Mr. Slush is in my living room right now. As a matter of fact, he is looking for one of the bike gloves he borrowed from me to do this insane ride, as we speak. So to speak.

    yeah, he's kind of cute but he didn't have mudflaps, very bad for a ride like that.

    "When I'm calling you-hoo-hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo..."

    For the rest of you, this is the 200K we were referring to yesterday. Both of our spouses were on this ride and we were a little worried, especially when they got home with body temps of 95. This is in pursuit of the R-12, and they only had a couple more days to do their December 200K. Grrrr.

    Mimi, that glove is gone. But I can't get too huffy about it, because originally those were actually HIS gloves, which he gave to me about four years ago and has missed ever since.

    Just glad his body temp's back to normal. He also already had a cold before the ride yesterday. Nuts. Coconuts, peanuts, walnuts, any kind of nuts you like--they're just nuts.

    By the way, I started training with a triathlon coach this week. Tris are so much shorter than 200Ks. Over before you know it, even. I am having fun.

    PS Happy Birthday, Deb. Hope you're tramping around in the winter woods and having fun.

    Næh. I think that's a Monty Python pic. "I'm a lumber jack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day."
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Good try on the cake, Zen, but I don't like chocolate. No tramping around in the snow because I'm in Michigan where the snow has all melted (maybe it melted at home too, but I'm not there to find out).
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    I'm looking at dog pics on the local shelter site. Every single one of them makes me want to take them home. Here's a couple of examples of these dear sweet guys:

    Chase


    Gill


    BTW there are way too many adds on the PDX craigslist for pets whose owners can't keep them anymore because they're losing their homes and can't find pet friendly rentals. I do wonder how many of these are legit or if their humans just got tired of them or something.
    Everything in moderation, including moderation.

    Those two look like they'd get along just fine, take 'em both!

    This is the boy I'd love to have-

    He's as happy and lively as can be. I hope he finds a home.

    I adopted someone today! Here's Twiggy! She's still at the shelter until she's spayed. Isn't she incredible? I think she's a mix of Russian Blue and extra terrestrial.

    Hopefully she can handle Eddy.
