Bald Spot and Regular Spot

Good News Everybody!

We had a great walk with Jack this past Saturday, down at Peace Park and in Hadang. The weather was perfect and the weekend crowd was a little thinner than usual. We enjoyed pizza in a cup, while Jack was gang-petted by a bunch of little kids. I saw my first dancing-girl grand-opening- a sight I had heard about many times, but always seemed to miss. There was even a guy holding the two purses of his pair of female companions.

Scroll past the pictures for the good news...






...and now for the good news: WE'RE HAVING A BOY! Rachel visited the OB/GYN last week and had her monthly ultra-sound. Everything is progressing well, the baby is twitching and sucking its thumb and we couldn't be happier. Now all we need is a name... what do you think about "Herschel"?

Another Strange Saturday in Peace Park

This past weekend we went to Peace Park with Dave & Camille and Jamie & Leah. (It sure is weird being a real person: hanging out with couples, expecting a baby, worrying about taxes and the future. Psht, whatever.)

The dog had a blast, the bipeds a great time and, as usual, the Koreans put on a freak show for us. There were kids dressed as anime characters, kids doing magic and playing instruments. There was an exhibit on reproduction and proper condom use and Dancin' Dave even won the chance to make a wish. Good times. (Click any picture for its large version.)

Jack Skippy

We finished a jar of peanut butter and, instead of scraping the last bits out, we gave the jar to the dog. He licked and licked the inside of that jar until it almost sparkled. As you can see in the picture, he was in heaven. By the time he was finished he looked like he was coming down off a three day bender: peanut butter DT's are not cool.

Random Pictures from the Archive

Hey, guess what? It's another stop-gap post! That's right, shoppers!

Monsoon season has me trapped indoors with not a whole lot going on. I could write reams about my video gaming exploits or describe the sleeping patterns of Jack and Bob (we didn't conciously name them after the Kennedys- it just happened), but I won't.

Instead, here are some cool pictures that didn't make it into previous posts.










Look for more *new* pictures at the end of next week when I return from my trip to Jeju-do.

Jack and Hagar the Hite Drinker

Sure... I complain about the dog: he gets in the trash, he barks inappropriately, he whines a lot, he sheds his own body weight every hour, he eats cat turds from the litter box every chance he gets. Sometimes, however, he is so freaking cute that it makes up for all that other stuff. Submitted for your approval: Wolfman Jack as book-rest.


















And here's Hägar the Horrible drinking Hite Beer from a magic puddle-fountain?

Spring Walking

Today we walked the dog around the neighborhood, making friends and eating meat-on-a-stick. It was lunchtime, so there were hundreds of school-children out and about. Most smiled at the dog, a few were scared, a few said "Hello." One said, "I want sex." What the hell are they teaching these kids?

Oh yeah. We also watched a few minutes of a track meet at Yudal Stadium. Neat-o.
