Katey The Cow and other topics

I think my dog used to be a cow. When we go to Duboce Park - she just starts GRAZING. LoL! I wonder if they have any Park Grass Anonymous meetings I could take her to? We had a lovely walk this morning - - a picture postcard perfect fall morning. I got back from the gym (treadmill a-go-go!) and as the sun hit the windows - I was toweling off from the shower and Katey started doing her "Lets Go Daddy!" Dance. (i'll have to film that sometime) It's a combination buttwiggle and rolling around on the floor in a complete tizzy. She really gets into it - so that by the time I'm dressed she's barking and circling at my feet. We stopped in at BeanThere for coffee - then walked up to Alamo Square and hung out with the schnauzer posse for a little while -- then made the turn home stopping through Duboce Park (which is all torn up in the "redesign") - and now we're at home cuddled up in the window. The neighbor just took her pug "Luigi" out for a walk and Kate got all barky/growly. She doesnt care much for pugs. I wonder what that's about? But get Miss Kate around a lab? particularly black labs? and she's all swoony/sniffy and playful. Go figure.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Today is going to be solid deadlines at work - but I'm going after work to see THE REDUCED SHAKESPEARE COMPANY presents "THE COMPLETE WORD OF GOD (abridged)". Due to the length, producing a stage version of the Old and New Testaments could present a challenge. Which is why the Reduced Shakespeare Company's "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged)" is so useful -- they "cut out minor characters and get right to the sex and killing." This show should be a GIANT hoot - and I'm going with my boss and her husband. (serious drinky attack afterwards)

saving is the bomb!

I love the Japanese. They have a most unique take on life. Their culture, especially pop culture, is full of surprises. My latest bit of wonder is the news item about the toy maker TOMY and their new gadget/toy to inspire Japan's youth to save. The Savings Bomb, to be introduced next week, will explode and scatter it's contents around the room if you do not feed it regularly. "Users must pick up and collect scattered coins and reflect on their laziness," said a company spokesman. That's maybe a little to "zen" for kids in the U.S., but I bet we'll see it on store shelves by Christmas.
