Another Pic Post from Matt

I want to first thank everyone who comments on the blog. I'm really glad that Laura is doing this and it makes us feel really good when you all comment!

Catching up, I am working a lot and don't mind it because I think people are noticing and that is what I want to do. I just starting taking on a management type project that I hope I can run with and impress our two managers. They work really hard and, not only do I want to impress them, but I want to help them with all they have to do.

Like Laura said, we do go to the dog park a lot and the puppies have a lot of fun. Too much if you ask me, but they get some energy out and are more calm. Yesterday when we went Pongo decided to revert to his bad boy ways and run all the way across the park to get to the horse pen. Perdita was yipping and following. They ran around the horse pen about 3 times and this time stayed out of the poo, but it makes both Lor and I worried about the puppies when they get that close to the horsies.

Ok, so now the most exciting part of today's post. Pictures!!


This is one of my favorite pictures. I love using the light in our house with the puppies. When they are tired I can get all kinds of good pictures and this one turned out great.





This is when we went night skiing. Twilight on top of the mountain was indescribable. Here is the best we could do to capture it. I thought the snowboarders getting ready added to the intrigue of the shot.



Puppies @ the dog park. Where is the treat?


More night skiing. It was really cool.





Perdita, sun and sleep.






I think that is plent for one day! Have a great week!

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...

The Power of the Mind

I believe in the power of the mind. It seems to me that a simple thought can solve (or create) many problems. Let me explain. Say you haven’t been sick in a really long time, and you don’t even notice. And just then when you get to thinking “Wow, I really haven’t been sick in a long time,” you come down with a cold. It’s like one little thought can trigger a physical reaction. I had a similar experience at work. My computer software used to crash a lot, which was really annoying. Recently, it has been running well until I had the thought “Wow, this software hasn’t crashed in a long time.” Five minutes later, it crashes. So many of these occurrences have been happening to me lately that it hardly seems like it can be coincidence. Now, if only I could use the power of my mind to figure out my latest programming issues for school…it suddenly doesn’t seem so easy as to “think it in.” Last Saturday morning and Monday mornings, I had to get up at 4 am to let Pongo out. He usually has a bladd...

Interlude: Tuesday Thoughts

One of my favorite TV shows to watch is “Jon and Kate Plus 8”. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a show which chronicles the life of a couple (Jon and Kate) with twins and sextuplets. Last night, Jon and Kate made a big (but expected) announcement. They are getting divorced. Due to all of the rumors in the media, this was not a shock. But I find it ironic that Jon and Kate started doing the show because it was “what was best for the kids.” Granted, it made them a LOT of money and skyrocketed them to fame. But ultimately, and I can only speculate, (they don’t ever really officially say what specifically lead to the divorce) that the fame and money are what dissolved their marriage. Clearly, the show was not really what was best for the kids in the end. I think I am mostly upset about this because I just read Kate’s book “Multiple Blessings,” which was written a couple years ago when she and Jon were still completely in love. I miss that. I really love their story. It was hard to rea...
