Well, I left work early ’cause Dave the trainer wanted me to show up early at 5:30. Turns out he wanted to get two of us at the same time, so he could make DOUBLE WAGES. Actually, it was because his dad was in town and he was having dinner with him. Even then, I didn’t get out of there until about 8PM. I must be a gym rat. Not because I look like a rat (after all, I am SO HOT now.)

Mariko & Peter’s silly dog Dede is here while they’re hiking in the wilds of Oregon. She’s quite wily and keeps getting into my dad’s candy which, unfortunately for Dede, often contains chocolate. Well, apparently chocolate doesn’t immediately kill basenjis, but it does give them horrible gas.
