First off — if you are in the Boston area (Liza!) and want to hang out March 9-13, holler at me. It looks like I’ll be in the area for work those days and I would love to see a few of you again.
Work is treating me well — we are quite busy, but it is not retarded again…yet. I am enjoying a return to just cranking out testing and trying to keep on top of bugs, etc. Hopefully my efforts will pay off, we will fix a few bugs, and then we can get back to all the crazy automation work again.
So, I’ve gotten word that my deposit on the place in CT is being sent soon, so I am getting a dog. I’ve been tossing it around for a few months, and I’m set. I want a dog. It was either that or a new girlfriend, and seeing how both shed, consume food, require love and attention, and can make a mess all over, I am going for a dog. :P.
At first I was thinking a Wire Haired Fox Terrier like Max, but the more I think about it, I want a more mellow dog. Right now the current obsession is with either a Border Collie or Australian Shepherd. Both are dogs that are quite mellow, don’t shed much if groomed, don’t bark much, are good in the house, and are generally great companion dogs. Kiko says so, and I love Kris & Christy’s dog Sage (heck, I picked him out!). I’m thinking it would be fun to have dog that can play frisbee too, seeings as my frisbee pals are either in D.C (Marcus) or Ottawa (Coop).
Any suggestions ?
So, for now I am just checking the paper for puppies and waiting for that check…
