Feelings.


Bend has been on new medication - in an attempt to fix his accidents. I'm not sure the medication is working correctly yet - but he sure seems mellow. Moab got a shot in the butt ... to help her as well. Her first real poo was pretty interesting. I've never heard a kitty howl so painfully!

What Does It Look Like?

I know you have been waiting. Wondering - what does a jade plant flower look like .... and here it is. The very first one to open!

Cold Evening.



The days are warm this week - but the evenings have been cool. Methow has been enjoying the fire more and more. As a matter of fact the cats haven't been coming to bed at all (sleeping by the fire at night). This week will be crazy until the end - where early Saturday morning Mike and I get on a plane to Japan. I've never been to Asia before. I can't wait!

Another Fun Run.

We did our 6.5 mile run (training for the PF Chang race in January). Here is another map ... It was a really fun run and we have a loud of good people ready to kick some ass in Arizona.

Happy Halloween.

I'm a kitty cat this year! Meow .... Waiting for trick-or-treaters right now.

This is our pumpkin this year. I know it is tough to tell that it is a pumpkin ... but here it is (in it's full bathroom glory ... the darkest place in the house).

Flying With Monsters.


Flying back from Livermore today was interesting. Early in the morning the Southwest gates were all decorated (my favorite being the Twilight, Thriller and Transformers). I'm really getting into flying them!

Stormy Weather.

Santa Fe ice plants!



I just got back from California (where the Bay Bridge is falling apart and it was rather cold) - to find that New Mexico is in a deep freeze. Here is our new steam maker for the wood stove.

Sunday Run.


On Sunday we ran our 6 miler (still the weekend long run training for the half marathon). Here is sweet plot of heart rate vs distance. It was a down hill run (aka easy) ... but we had a good time. Dana, Diana, Julie and I kicked it at 7:30 in the morning (it was actually hovering at 30 degrees).

Craft Fair Day.


Today was the fall craft fair in Los Alamos. I got a pastel painting of the sunsets in New Mexico and a tile hanging thing that is just the perfect color for our dinning room. It was a wonderful fair and a perfect day for one.

Funny - If Not Wrong.

I got this from a friend who motorcycles - rather funny.

WTfFriday ....


Methow

Is that too many F's in the title? While walking into the office today I saw two guys "bumping knuckles". Who invented this? It is a hypoallergenic method for not spreading the flu? Is it a lack of real desire to touch another man? Ladies don't do this crap. Why is it the new accepted hello?

I also saw a few small kids (7-9ish) in the valley this past week that were using the British flip-the-bird hand gesture as a gang sign (inverse of the peace sign). I'm sure somewhere it is a gang sign - but their mom was gesturing back to them. It was like watching people say f**** you back and forth without knowing they were doing it.

I think that the world has gone crazy with a lack of kind human interaction. Since the world has gone crazy I'm posting a possessed photos of Methow!

All Dogs.


While in Santa Fe today we went to Chicago Dog. Behind the building is an amazing mural - all about dogs! Chicago dogs are the best!

Strange Blossoms.



I noticed that the jade plant has started getting blooms on it and so has the rosemary plant. I had no idea that these plants bloom in fall - but it is very nice to see them! I can't wait to see what the jade flowers look like!

You Know It Is Fall.

Mike is outside cutting fire wood. The days are warm without being hot and yet the evening are cool. There are pumpkins on the front deck (ready for carving) and the smell of dry leaves is overwhelming. Yes yes ... it is fall in New Mexico.

Photos of Relaxing.

This is how Bend like to relax. It isn't really cold enough for a fire - but Bend loves it. He snuggles in his little bed and relaxes enough to snore.

This is from last weekends track time. While traveling I guess Mike took this photo of me and Bend. I was, well as you can see, passed out (and so was Bend).

Strange Things At The Track.


This spider must have been really hungry. I've never seen one try so hard to get a fly!
