I think I mentioned in some previous post that our building management subscribes to daily news video feeds in each of the elevators. Each corner contains a small monitor that gives me something to stare at during the daily triskaidekaphobic trip to the 16th (15th) floor. Usually I learn something relevant about the weather in [...]
A normal person would tell the story of a week at a dog show by talking about, say, dogs. Not sure where that person’s blog is, but it isn’t here.
Some highlights of last week, in no particular order.
Wining. In my whippet show world, “whine” is what ones dog ought not do when crated; “bouquet” means [...]
While the Valley River Inn has made a fine substitute for home for the past week, it is time this morning to pack and go home. As usual, post National Specialty, I will be perfectly content to NEVER SEE ANOTHER WHIPPET besides my own for at least a day. Maybe two.
So this [...]
…and quite possibly the locusts again. The weather in Eugene so far rivals that in the Puget Sound Convergence Zone. The PSCZ provides the backdrop for the success of such clothing retailers as REI, Eddie Bauer, Helly Hansen, the North Face and is the official birthplace of GoreTex.

At any rate, we survived the trip down and are now happily esconced in our hotel room. “We” are yours truly, my [...]
Cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze.
Whining…Since no one wants to buy my lungs, I guess I just have to live with the friggin’ things. I have to leave for the Whippet National Specialty in Oregon tomorrow, and the only things in my suitcase are Stan and LJ.
I prefer “self-indulgent” to “superficial”. But I am [...]
Cheap. Two asthmatic human lungs. Function well except when inhaling anything remotely like mold. May do better in a warm, dry climate. Possess an amazing ability to turn any tiny cold, flu bug, toothache or stubbed toe into a raging upper respiratory infection, often accompanied by 102 degree fever. They [...]
I’m sorry I’m not up to playing today – caught a nasty respiratory infection on the way home from Maryland. On the bright side, I have good drugs!
I think this may be a favorite…
