I, Muehlenhaus. U, Riedermaus.

That last entry was a whopper! I was just testing whether or not you could really publish right to your blog from Office 2007 and the answer was... yes! And without length restrictions apparently. But none of the map images came through, so that kind of defeats the purpose. I'll take it down. Looking at it kind of whacks me out.

But I digress... it is the last day of the semester here, and I should be excited, but I'm actually kind of ornery. I like my class this semester. It will be a bummer not to see them again -- except for the final, of course, but that is always about as stiff as reading a book in a Belarussian police station. It's been a fun semester. It was the first one where I ran out of time to cover all of the material I wanted to cover. And the reason was because the students go so into their presentations! It blew me away. It was positively marvelous! (Note: I've wanted to use that line for months now. Not sure why... I imagine a sports announcer saying it or something.)

Went to the dog park twice with Mette yesterday. I'm not sure who is more tired. Man, she ran and ran and ran, through the snow, up the hills, down the hills, through the trees... I'm knackered. She woke me up by hopping on the bed this morning and immediately forcing me off my pillow, which tells me she is ready to rumble again today. Boundless energy that damn muppet!

Hung out with Adam on Monday night. Dropped off the Mad Dog DVD burner. It's off to Estonia with him for... how long? Sounds like forever. Some good Russian political gossip was exchanged that evening. He is not only living in interesting times, he is off to an interesting place. If only he can shake the Russian marriage... ha, ha, ha. Stay tuned for that by checking out his blog up on the right (or here) under Russk Adam. He leaves in a week!

Self-portrait above from a walk in the local park. Mette went ape after a bunny and we both wound up stuck and entangled in snow bank. Rabbit left unscathed. Snapped this in the blinding sun with my cell phone. Wasn't sure if I got anything until now...
