a new tradition

to continue the first-day-of-the-semester posting, it also seems a new tradition has emerged with my time here at CU. like last semester, I had a bus break down today. unlike last semester, the bus didn't restart and a tow truck had to be called.

that's what a two-piece articulated bus looks like being towed by a huge truck (which I got to ride in!).

it was three hours from the time the bus broke down until it got towed back to the bus lot, during which time my body (mostly my feet) became very cold. though well below freezing, Boulder's temps today do not even compare to what I experienced over this past weekend. more on that in an upcoming post as part of a series recapping my wintry break.

oh, and I had a class today too. it was dece and the professor seems cool and mentioned he has seen every episode of The Simpsons "like ten times." my kind of guy.

k bye,
DoG

it's that time again...

a new member may soon be added to the fam, in the form of an adorable German shepherd puppy. I say 'may' because the dual-dog scenario will first be on a trial basis. if parental units decide to keep her, she will require a name. like Kipper before her, I ask for any suggestions.

some background: her official AKC name is Ada vom haus Huro. she was born on September 15, so no good holiday tie-ins. she is 3/4 German and 1/4 Czech.

for some reason, hemi is still not considered an acceptable name by other family members.

and yes, I know I haven't been very good about posting lately. I'm hoping that will change soon. show your support by offering names for this cute doggy.

my toes are cold,
D*G

p.s. stay tuned for some highlights from my one-month hiatus from reality.
