What’s the Common Thread?

anders — Fri, 15 May 2009 00:04:04 +0000

Kim & Mark McGinnis sent this to us to share with all of you–and I hope that you’ll have a look-see and then pass on the link and share it with your friends. It’s a simple point, but a very poignant one – and one that reminds us of how much we need each other, and how much we ARE each other. Sure some of us are snuzzier than others, but you get the point… Enjoy!

Charlie the Cowdog

Maren — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:20:07 +0000

To say Charlie has adapted well to his first year of ranch life would be a criminal understatement. He loves nothing more than running free in the fields, barking at an occasional wayward horse, fishing for turtles in our pond, and lounging lazily on the porch of our home.

He joined us when we sorted cattle Saturday morning, following along with our vehicles for over a mile until we reached our spot.

This level of activity does make a Basset tired. Because no matter what their level of physical fitness, Bassets really aren’t famous for their endurance.

But all I have to do is call Charlie’s name, and I know he’ll come running…no matter how pooped out he is.

I had to tell him what a great job he did.

Trying to Get There: Announcer Calls Horse Race

This is just way too funny. My favorite part is probably “some birds going across the screen there … obviously going to a different place than these horses.” It’s brilliant. Watch it a few times, you’ll pick up stuff you missed the first time …

In a reader? Get here and watch it.

25 Tips for a Successful Workout

anders — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:01:57 +0000

This week is the “next week” that I’ve been talking about for weeks now. I have been planning to join a gym and start working out for quite some time now, never really thinking that “next week” would ever arrive.

Next week is now.
*Sigh*

To get motivated, I have come up with the following tips and images that are hopefully going to help me get my workout on. If they work for me, they’ll definitely work for you…

1. If it does hang out, let it.

2. Stretch it out, but look good doing it.

3. Rest between sessions.

4. Try to remember which locker is yours.

5. Remember that even the little weights add up.

6. When you DO look in the mirror, try to smile.

7. Eat your carbs.

8. The bigger guys are always happy to spot you.

9. Don’t take anything from little trolls handing out “Power Bars.”

10. When the pull-up bar gets the upper hand…
hang on for dear life.

11. Cool down and relax whenever you get the chance.

12. Don’t forget to work on that mid-section.

13. Drink lots of milk.

14. Don’t make fun of the chicks doing yoga.

15. Breeeeeathe.

16. Eat a piece of fruit.

17. No matter how silly you feel, keep doing it.

18. Check your hair every now and then
or have someone do it for you.

19. Feeling pretty takes a little time.

20. There’s plenty of room in the locker room.
Go ahead and spread out a bit.

21. Try not to accentuate your humps, your humps, your lovely little lumps.

22. The trainers are there to help.

23. Avoid mischievous looking types lurking in corners.

24. You’re going to want to scream. Just do it.

25. Pick up a bite to eat on the way home.

Ike’s Pets

anders — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:30:45 +0000

From Boston.com’s The Big Picture:

In its brief lifespan of only 13 days, Hurricane Ike wreaked great deal of havoc. Affecting several countries including Cuba, Haiti, and the United States, Ike is blamed for approximately 114 deaths (74 in Haiti alone), and damages that are still being tallied, with estimates topping $10 billion. Many shoreline communities of Galveston, Texas were wiped from the map by the winds, storm surge and the walls of debris pushed along by Ike – though Galveston was spared the level of disaster it suffered in 1900.
