Yeah, it's been an entire year since I last updated this page. Ya wanna make sumthin of it? Huh? It's not as though anything's changed: we still have mice, and cats that enjoy catching them, Dubya is still making unnecessary and unwise decisions, I still get mysterious spam, the religious right is still managing to usurp all government powers, and our kitchen ceiling is still leaking.

Of course we do have a couple of new family members....

Here's family addition #1:
Jet, the "pink" puppy, adorable at 8 weeks

At 10 weeks, doing what she loves best

And at 4 months, looking practically grown up

And here's addition #2:
Rosie, taking a rest

And here's #1 mauling #2:

It seems only right to mention that #1 is a Belgian Sheepdog puppy (aka Groenendael) and #2 is a Roomba. Not because you didn't already know that, but because otherwise Google will not be able to find us. heh.
