a nice change of pace for friday after the gym and after my dental appointment, and just how did i end up in a nice home with two dogs? thanks Maria. now, i really, really need to do my income taxes. oh, and speaking of people who have two dogs, i received a package from my sister today. apparently it had gone to my downstair's neighbor for some reason. he took it to the manager who gave it to my nice next door neighbor Dave who just gave it to me. it seems to have been mailed on the 5th so maybe it arrived today. and maybe, maybe it's a early birthday present. but, you didn't hear/read that from me. i did notice my sister updated her blog today and her and her husband are skiing in the French Alps.
