surprise, more dog video

Shep, the dog who didn't want to live with other dogs in his previous life now enjoys playing with dogs in the park (but he still likes coming home to be the only pet).

Back to school

I'm finally going for some more school. If I can survive the program, I will have a masters in public health from Mount Sinai (NY, NY) in a couple of years. Maybe I'll actually make my way up to the campus one of these days and take a picture of where I'll be heading during the week this fall.

Shep and Monkey

Shep found this monkey in the park (re: stole from another dog in the park while with a friend of ours). He would normally instantly shred any destructable toy, but not Monkey. Monkey is now the sole occupant of Shep's bed and they love to play together. The biting is bites of love!

Cool journals

I saw a link to these journals on BoingBoing.

They take old hardcover books and use the covers as the cover to a journal. Scattered throughout the blank pages are illustrations or pages from the book they wanted to include so each journal is unique. I may have to keep a journal just as a reason to get some of these...

Belize!

We went to Belize (just south of Mexico) for two weeks and it was great. We did some jungle bits and some beach bits. Here are a few pictures.Chico the spider monkey at a lodge where we stayed likes Craig to sit with him

A fun weekend

I wish! We ran errands Saturday afternoon and returned home with some wine and dinner fixins ready for a relaxing night at home with Netflix. We were both in town, I wasn't working and had the next day off, it was time for a quiet night at home. The stars had other plans for us though. The stars, or the lazy guys remodeling an apartment above ours. They put tons of black stuff (still don't know what it was) down the drain that should not go down the pipes. It backed up in our bathroom sink then rushed halfway across the living room and even around a chunk of the bedroom and of course the bathroom was covered.

The fatalities include 3 rugs, one very nice large one. A "Rug Doctor" machine could not save them. Now poor Shep is lacking in soft places to flop until we can remedy the situation. The bathroom reeks of midlew (?) and the black gunk despite many hours of cleaning (btw, Craig can do some scrubbing when necessary).

This picture is a little taste of the fun.

More dog and snow video

Now that I realized I can post video here, I'll try to take more videos of stuff to post. My little point and shoot camera can record video.
