Since Kiko was very little, we have been taking him to pug parties. Yes, you read that correctly. There is a subculture of people who own pugs and feel compelled to get 30-40 of them (or sometimes in exponentially larger groups) together in one house f…
An older dog can, maybe, possibly, learn new tricks
Kiko the seven-year-old wonder pug is finally starting some obedience training at home with the help of an Ian Dunbar DVD. As Sam and I are hoping and planning for a puppy next year, we figure Kiko should be at least somewhat of a role model for good b…
The tooth, it hurts!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. And now, the bad news… While in Salt Lake City my tooth started bothering me. It’s one that has a crown on it, and it started to feel a little loose. I wasn’t sure if the crown was loose or if the…
Salt Lake City
Here’s what we learned on our trip to Salt Lake City… About 80% of the population is Caucasian. To give you a little perspective on that, I’m from Florida where the non-Hispanic white population is roughly 60%. So yeah… 80% is a whole lot of white people.

Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. As I noted previously, I was shocked to find out that I had only used 4 vacation days this whole year. Well, here’s how Liz and I will be using up the remaining 19 vacation days I have. In mid-November we’re going…
What I’ve been up to…
I’ve been relatively quiet lately… here’s what I’ve been up to: Working! I tallied up the total number of vacation days I’ve used this year. The total was 4. That’s right, I’ve only had 4 days off of work this whole year. How sick is that? Well, I plan on remedying that over the next…
