A friend of mine, Joe Williams, just started his own variation on Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me. Joe notes that Spurlock started off as a fit, healthy, active person who went dormant at the same time that he started his McDonald’s-only diet, so he naturally gained lots of weight and became unhealthy. The variation: Joe…

Coyote Fracas
The Trip Late last Saturday afternoon, Kaelyn and I took the dogs for an off-leash hike at an area east of Pasadena in the dry bed of the San Gabriel River. Partway through the hike, Kaelyn got a phone call from Amy, somewhat distressed over an incident Amy’s beagle-mix, Annie, had just been involved in:…
Dear Megan
Savannah April 11, 2007 Well, Megan, You finally convinced me that I should be better about writing back to you.

Kitty Gets Away
Kaelyn drove Dekker up north for the weekend to extract remnants of a couple of broken teeth (that appears to have gone smoothly), so I am left alone at home with Reggie, Bravo, and the pouring rain. This morning, we had a break in the torrents, so I quickly threw leashes onto Reggie and Bravo…
January 9 Mixed Stake
At the ASA Mixed hunt today, Bravo was in the last of three preliminary runs. He drew a borzoi from Rhode Island (those are some fast dogs that Michael Kurt brought with him!) and an Irish Wolfhound. After being on the line for multiple hours, their course finally went off. Bravo did well in a…

NCWC Racing
I just heard from Kaelyn that Bravo took second place in today’s NCWC NOTRA meet.
