Checking in…

Hey. How are you doing?

Me? Slammed with allergies, thank you. I’ll get through it, but man…this Sudafed haze is No Fun. I feel sure that I have a number of things to discuss with you, but each time I reach out to touch one…poof. Gone.

Okay, so I’ll start with something easy…

This shot is the definition of pure joy. Silas Ermineskin, not a paw touching the ground, frolicking in the snow. His brother Seamus preferred to dig himself a nest and roll in it, his thick fur coat nestled deep in a drift — dog ecstasy.

Happy boys.

I, on the other hand, had the third most harrowing drive of my life home the other night, as a result of the same snowstorm. However, all is well now, snow safely abated, at least for now.

But the world keeps turning, and since I last posted here, there’s been an increase to the chaos in Libya and many of the buildings of Christchurch have been shaken to the ground. An interesting world we live in, yes?

Let’s go to a little link-love…

To begin, if you’d like to donate to help the people of New Zealand in this latest crisis, follow this link to donate to the NZ Red Cross. [Have patience — the site is getting a lot of hits these days…] And via @CaliBC, you can see some of the devastation up close and personal HERE.

Have you seen this send-up of the LuluLemon bag? Priceless. [4000 years of yoga and we’ve finally figured out how to cash in…]

Are you following Darren Barefoot’s ‘One Year, One Canadian’ blog? If not, perhaps this contest will entice you.

Via Sean Cranbury’s Books on the Radio blog, have a peek at the endeavour to replace the ‘n-word’ in Huckleberry Finn with the word ‘robot’. Mechanically correct?

And to finish in the same vein as we began, for those who like their big dogs with a taste of sweet fawn on the side, I give you this: http://www.dogwork.com/ddsff4/

 

Sweet dreams! And, as always, more soon…
