Let's Try This Again

It's been nearly four months since I last wrote. I'll chalk it up to a lack of creativity and reader interest. But nonetheless, I'm back at it one more time. 

I figure the best way to get it going again is with a brief recap. Deep breath and here goes:
Wendy and I adopted another doxie to be pals with Beans. Her name is Frankie and she's adorable. She too is quite unique like our double dapple Beans, in that Frankie's an Isabella Pieball. Thankfully the two of them get along very well, although we think our three cats are not too fond of having two dogs around the apartment. 

The job continues to go very well. During the months of July, August and September, I visited Vegas, San Diego, and then made a trip to Hong Kong and India. Hong Kong was great and I look forward to making the trip again. India on the other hand was both an interesting and humbling experience. While I'm glad I made the trek out there, I have nooooooo desire to go back. As my dad would say, not my cup of tea. 

In between those trips, I trained for and competed the Disneyland Half Marathon. I finished with a time of 2:02, while my better half crossed the line at 1:47.56.  What a shock, huh? Now its time to get ready for the Huntington Beach Half Marathon in February 2009. Mark my words: I will beat her this time, or at least tie her. Time will only tell. 

Outside of the dog, trips, and running, the rest is same ole thang. I did celebrate my 33rd birthday and got the best present ever - coffee maker with an automatic grinder and program capabilities. 

So there you have it.
