I now know that Ohio is a serious, serious battleground state for the US Presidential election. On Saturday, the WSJ ran an opinion piece entitled “The Self-Inflicted Economic Death of Ohio” in which Finn outlines all of the ways Ohioans have sabotaged their state’s economy. His thesis appears to be along the lines [...]

Bongo lives in Støvring, Denmark and thinks that his city is the 11th best place to live, not Copenhagen. So, maybe we re-number the list a bit… 11, Støvring, 11.5, Copenhagen.
Here’s Bongo “enjoying” living (and sleeping!) in Støvring.

I stumbled upon the Mercer Consulting report posted on www.businessweek.com yesterday and found a series of photos from the most livable cities in the world. Number 1 was Zurich and they had a photo of the boats, 2 was Vienna with a lit Christmas scene…. and number 11 was Copenhagen. The best scene they had [...]

Friday, June 20 is “Bring your dog to work” day
Rufus is wishing every dog a happy “Bring your dog to work day.” It is nice to see how the other half lives when we’re sleeping alone on the coach at home!

A couple days ago, we took a walk downtown and I really enjoyed myself. I love new places, new smells, new dogs. As I walk along, I look back to see if my owner is still with me, to make sure that he wants to go straight, take a left, stop and look at a [...]

What I want is to go to sleep at the end of each day, knowing that I made the world just a little bit better for being me. Sometimes that takes a bit of watering, some fertilizer, a soft nuzzle, a goofy grin, the “walk dance” or a bit of pouting on rainy days. And [...]

I grew up in the great state of Minnesota. All of my views of the world, especially the ones about gender relationships, power balance, worth, etc. were shaped by my litter and the other dogs around me. For those of you not quite up on your Minnesota demographics and political history, the state was settled [...]

Today, I spent the afternoon curled up alone in my office, working on stuff. Sometimes the phone rang and I answered it, but mostly I did the small things that I used to do when it was just me.
I miss me.

Sometimes, something is just way too funny not to mention. Do you think the copy editors writing the headlines at the Washington Post just did not drink enough Plain Joe Coffee before showing up for work today??
I thought that Clinton “did not have sexual relations with that woman…” Hillary, not Monica. So, why is there [...]

Dog walking with Rufus, Grep, Molly, and Bingo is so much fun because I get to pet all the dogs. I did the dog oath, the dog handshake, and they where good. I get to play with the dogs and take pictures.
I rode my bike to start. I like walking better. We walked to Mambos’s [...]
