The Deal that Apparently Never Ends™ still isn't closed in spite of some really long days last week and weekend work over the last two days. Hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope springs eternal in the hearts of sales people.

How sad is the current state of airline travel that when I finally have a good travel experience (i.e., planes leave and arrive on time, I don't have to check my tiny bag), I'm ready to dance through the airport, singing hosannas? Pretty sad. But thank you, Delta, nevertheless.

Boogie the Giant Schnauzer sprained his ankle a week ago, and is still gimping around pretty badly. He's a bit better today, thank goodness, but it's going to be a while before he's up to snuff again. Poor Boogie - it sucks getting older, especially when you're smelly and need a bath, but can't have one because you sprained your ankle trotting across a field.

As a personal observation, let me point out that just because somebody thinks they want something REALLY, REALLY BADLY, and they act like a pushy bitch because of that perception, does not mean they're going to get whatever it is that has their panties in a twist. Sometimes, reality is a pushy bitch in her own right, and she's going to pwn them. That's just how reality rolls.

I finally got to the top of the waiting list at our awesome, awesome local library for Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin, read by Roy Dotrice. I'm now trying to decide if I should listen to it before or after the next season of the HBO series based on the series. Probably after, as it's not like I don't have 800 things in queue ahead of it.

Legos are cool. Really cool. I hope the kids over at Toys for Tots feel that way, too.

There is a fairly large scale model of the USS Intrepid, on the USS Intrepid built of legos.

Why can't he have a bath?

He can't stand for that long - he's not putting much weight on it, and his hips (not very strong to begin with) are very tired from compensating.
