After a walk, Daisy's tongue seems to extend to four times its normal length.

She can't fit it back in her head.

I'm kinda embarrassed for her.

Mmmm... Camping pictures!

We're hoping for an invite to Beijing in 2008...

New Summer Olympic event - the one handed puppy poop pickup (while holding off the puppy with the other hand).

Points awarded based on style, time to finish, and poop consistency. Participants must show proficiency in all three surface areas: grass, concrete and sand.

Blinker Used

Rhode Island State Police are currently investigating recent reports a turn signal, or "blinker," was used to indicate the intention to change lanes on Interstate 95 South through Providence this morning.

If initial reports are correct, this marks the first recorded instance of the use of a turn signal in the Providence area since retiree Henry Gentile of Cranston left his blinker on accidentally for 6 miles in January of 1983 while on a trip to the liquor store.

More information as it becomes available.

Good Eats

I've been a total slut for the Food Network lately.

I'll watch anything that looks like a "travel and food" show, or anything with Alton Brown.

Documenting "The Fattening"

Front view:




Rear view (whoa):

I'm not usually a big fan of re-posting somebody else's comedy, but this one killed me:

Whoa...

I'm not usually one to complain about feeling old... It's pointless, and nobody wants to hear it anyway.

But driving around campus last week and seeing the "Welcome Class of 2010" signs did make me feel a little old.

Yikes.

Scooby

"Oh! What a cute puppy!"

"Thanks."

"How old is she?"

"About 12 weeks."

"Wow... And she's already that big? She's bigger than Scooby was at that age."

"Who's Scooby?"

Then she went in the house and let Scooby out. All 105 pounds of him.

"Are you sure Scooby is just a lab?" (You don't think he might be half lab, half clydesdale?)

"Nope. That's what the breeder said."

"Whoa."

Growth Stocks

We finally had the right combination of "good weather" and "free time" to do some gardening this weekend.

Today, we had our first signs of new growth.

We've got pumpkins!

And marigolds!

No sign of the sunflowers yet.
