On this Day...

Besides, you know, being born, this is a look on what has happened on May 31 throughout history.

I found this bit of history particularly interesting.

Say "Hello" to My Little Friend

I never thought that home brewed coffee could taste so damn good. Now all we need is Dunkin Donuts whole bean French Vanilla coffee.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the terrific early birthday present.

Next on the upgrade kitchen list: pots and pans. Any suggestions on the best brand to buy? I've already decided no Teflon. That shit always comes off eventually.

Puppies on Parade

This weekend, my fella and I attended the 60th Annual Los Altos pet parade where we saw people walk with their dogs, cats, turtles and snails. We even saw a few shetland ponies and goats. I'm used to the lame-o small town parades that last about 10 minutes...this one lasted a wopping 45! Most people my age ache to have a child...I'd rather have a dog.

Two dachshunds dressed as hot dogs.

Scooby Doo entertained us with break-dancing.

I wish we had gotten a pic of the big-ass Irish Wolfhoud who took the biggest dump I've ever seen. That definately was a highlight.

Random guy without pants playing the saxophone. I'm not sure what this had to do with pets.

Gotta love California.
