which would you rather be?
I finally found a wonderful hairstylist to call my very own and whilst sitting in her chair she asked me if I had any kids. I said no, but we did have a dog and she and I agreed that it was a lot of...
NC Museum of Art, on Google Maps
I heard about this awhile back, but was reminded of it recently... this is the satellite view of the art museum in Raleigh. Notice anything? They used various elements, including the outdoor stadium...
oh, I’m sorry… is this a working office and not a French beach?

Traveler comments

Merry Christmas!
Hope everyone is having a great Christmas! It's warm here, and we got to open our presents at least 7 hours earlier than everyone in the Eastern Time Zone, so Christmas in Cape Town is pretty sweet :)
Riesling vs. frisbee
This most recent video installment features Riesling venting her frustration on a frisbee in the living room. YouTube video link The mini-schnauzer I had growing up, Mandy, used to do the exact same...
Ready for Christmas
Riesling is all ready for Christmas, as her garland necklace testifies: High on her Christmas list this year is a stuffed squirrel (well, her true wish is a real squirrel, but it'd be rather messy,...
Christmas music!
Normally I try to wait till Thanksgiving (week) to start Christmas music, but since we need to have our shopping done in three weeks, I figured I'd start a little earlier. I usually start with Bing...
