Porkchop and the Case of the Exploding Latte

So I get all spiffed up for a morning meeting - and catch the 755am N Train. It's packed. I step onto the bottom step of the train and the doors shut. The steps put me right even with a perky blonde's mocha - which in the movement of the train - she squeezes and explodes all over my chest and face. Dripping Mocha from my goatee in this particular setting? not so hot.

She apologizes - and in talking to me - tips the cup and pours the remainder of her mocha on my stomach and crotch. Looking back - it was truly comical - and pretty hysterical. but at th time - it was well. not. LOL.

I got off at the next stop - Duboce and Church and walked back home to shower (again) and change. Kateydog gave me the "what the hell happened to you look" - and I headed out for work a second time. I got on Muni and there was a delay in the tunnel - getting me to work finally at 9:30 instead of 8:15.

Ugh! The meeting was wrapping up as I finally arrived. not the best way to start the day. . but - nothing can be done! so :)

mozart joins the nighthawks

I LOVE PHOTOSHOP! I pulled off this little project today:



I added Amadeus Mozart to Edward Hopper's Nighthawks at the counter at the end of the bar.

"Bark!"

Another byproduct of being Comcastless - is a lot more quality time with Kateydog!
Snuggles. Balltime. KilltheBobo^tm. all this plus her normal walk/sniffpatrol and belly rub in the morning. :)

Tonight we took our 9pm walkies - and walked up through the neighborhood along the side of Buena Vista park and the wind was whistling. I was in my coat - and her kerchief was blowing in the wind - she looked so pretty. We turned down Haight Street back towards the house - and she turned to me in the dark and just barked. once. REALLY loudly. It was pretty hysterical! As we started down the hill towards the lower haight - she'd stop every six or seven feet and turn and "BARK!". Her tail was wagging - and it was just so much fun to see her so happy.

Kateydog only barks when she's happy - she never learned to bark in defense - or to bark at strangers. She only barks when she's excited and happy. We got home and she burst in the door and up the stairs to turn and "BARK! BARK!" - doing her little whole body wag she does - and we just finished a rousing game of "KilltheBobo^tm" - as Pete pulsecub and Drew bootedintexas will attest (as the two newest members of the KateyDog fan club) - she's tenacious at killing the bobo.

She's sleeping next to me on the couch - kicking and whimpering in her sleep. I wonder what she dreams about. I bet it's wonderful! She turns 8 on October 15th... I'm getting her a spa day - and a bunch of new toys - and a new set of kibble&water bowls. oh - and bacon.
