Canine rehab....

Not to be confused with the reality show, Celebrity Rehab, Bo is not some washed-up, has-been who is addicted to drugs, alcohol, or sex (though he does like to hump the kitties; I would classify that as a fetish, but not an addiction). His therapy was prescribed so that he could increase his physical activity with little impact on his arthritic joints.

After his strenuous 5-minute walk, the doc said he should rest and stretch tonight. This is how he looked on the way home.....

Take me out to the ballgame....

We drove for 7 hours, spent $125 in gas, and missed the final stage of the Tour de France, to watch the Giants loose. The good news is that we got 2 free Bobble Heads...which I am going to post on E-Bay today.

We love the game, but it's just not the same if your team does not win. SF Giants 1--Arizona Diamondback 7

Oh, la, la.....

This years legs.....I mean peloton.

This blows.....

Thanks to the Foggy Blogger for the heads-up about this tragedy.

Boring......

I have done nothing exciting or even remotely interesting, lately. After the vacation and wedding stuff, everything else seems boring and mundane.

Being out of school for the summer is awesome and I have quickly filled up all of my time, that would be usually dedicated to studying, homework or being in class.

I have been riding my bike an awful lot, spinning, yoga and Pilates; I think am getting tired of having fun......

It is so good to be home, back on a routine; riding my bike,

eating normally, sleeping with the dog, watering the plants.

Normalcy is a good thing.

Just Married.....again

We renewed our wedding vows in Lake Tahoe, Nevada this afternoon and we went to the same chapel that we were married in 27 years ago. This was the last stop on our 4,000 mile motorcyle journey over the past few weeks.

I'll blog more about that later, afterall, this is my honeymoon..............
