ah to be a puppy...

A funny thing happened to me this morning on my walk. I was walking down the High Street hill and saw this person and their dog walking down the same side I was on. I kept walking, not thinking much about this, until the dog turns around and sees me. The dog started jumping around and straining at it's leash, the owner tried to get it to keep going, the dog would have nothing to do with it. The dog laid down in the middle of the sidewalk and wouldn't go anywhere until I came up and patted it. Then it jumped up and down and licked me and knocked me over. What a fantastic morning!

I got thinking as I walked away, how great to be a puppy, you love unconditionally, enjoy almost everything that comes along, are insanely curious. I think I should try to be more "puppy like". :-)

On another note, I was up in Canada last week and had a pretty good time, I got to work with a few good people. It snowed the whole time I was there, didn't see clear sky at all, crazy. Look up Sudbury, Ontario if you're bored. Pics are here.

Outside of that, not much happening, I'm torn on a tough decision, my car is on its last legs and I'm not sure whether I should get a new car or go to South Africa for 10 days on a book buying excursion with a friend. hmmmm... if anyone still reads this, do you have any thoughts?

Peace, Love, Beer,
