The Scoop

Yes, we are quickly approaching the end of International Pooper Scooper Week. But we just use plastic bags. Where would we be if the grocers went back to just paper? Well we'd be stuck with spending our money on plastic bags. What waste.

In the past I have made schedules to organize my time. The problem is I can start a project on the house, or helping some one I know, keeping to the task until it is finished, rendering the schedule completely useless. But I opened the old Excel and made another today. I'm sure this time will be different because I shaded the cells with pretty colors. It is important now since I have to focus on production rather than trying to hire myself out as an independent contractor, as far as my professional pursuits in Architecture go. I'm not sure how the British can pronounce schedule the way they do. I've tried and there is just something unnatural about it.

I gave myself an hour for lunch and dog. A quick prep and eat and then run the dog through some drills for 15 minutes or so or until she loses interest. You can't push a dog when they lose interest or get confused. Just have to come back to it the next day.

I was always a person to keep the dogs outside but my wife is very different. She brings them in and babies them. She always made sure Tun-Tun was kept warm after he grew old. I have a plan for remodeling the garage and putting in a kennel. But it sure feels safer with a dog sleeping in the house. Ship-po is starting to eat without being coaxed. We take her for walks nearly every day, sometimes twice. Ship-po is more Misao's dog than mine, but she knows who the boss is.

Went to the doctor to check out a few things. Had to take the bus home since my wife always hogs the car. Did you know they don't give out transfers anymore in Chicago? He recommended that the best thing for back pain is to strengthen the core. He prefers yoga. Still have a bad spot in my back after that smack down at Crystal Ridge last year. The Doc suspects it is muscular rather than with the back itself.

It looks like I will have a clear 1,000+ hits on my site over the last year when June 11th comes around. That is when I added a counter. With all the useful information and insight encompassing the vast diversity of life's interests, not to mention human drama and an unmatched wit, I'm surprised I don't have thousands upon thousands reading.

Obviously....
