Dog Day on the Green

Dog Day on the Green

Walked 2 miles to Monrose Harbor to take Freddie to Dog Day on the Green today.  I was a little disappointed in the doggie turnout, but it was really hot so Fred wasn’t interested in playing anyway.  In fact, he just wanted to chill in the shade with the hippie from the “Natural Dog Massage” tent. We listened to Skip Haynes for a while.  For $20 he’ll personalize his hi...

Another hot day.  After installing the air conditioner Fred and I took a trip to the doggie beach.  Lot’s of dogs there today!

It wasn’t a lucky goal

It wasn’t a lucky goal

Everyone keeps calling Clint Dempsey’s goal in the England game lucky.  I’d have to say I disagree.  This just shows that soccer is 11 v 11 and our 11th man is simply better than anything England has to offer.  At first glance it would be easy to dismiss it as a lucky goal, and I’d agree with that line of thinking if this was the first or even second time that this has happen...

She & Him

She & Him

Just saw She & Him at a free show in Millennium Park. The sound there is actually pretty good, but holy crap there were a lot of people! Noticed a few things that would never happen in Detroit: A concert of this size that was BYOB (including alcohol) People eating salads and drinking nice wine on the lawn No fights Nobody wildly out of control drunk No police One security guard To watch this...

Beach Day!

Beach Day!

It was almost 80 when we woke up today so it was definitely a beach day!  Freddie actually went chest deep into the water without me throwing him in! In our first video here you can see him gingerly taking his first steps in the water.  Freddie isn’t sure if he likes the water yet so he doesn’t like other dogs coming up to him when he is wading out.  This first video ends about a h...

Detroit’s Brightest Diamond

Detroit’s Brightest Diamond

My girlfriend, my neighbors, and I all went out last weekend and had one of the most unexpected but wonderful experiences in a long time.  Too much awesome happened to write down, but here is a little summary. I’ve always been a pretty big fan of The Decemberists, but I’ve become especially enamored with their latest effort entitled The Hazards of Love.  Shara of My Brightest Diamon...

Massive RIAA Layoffs

Massive RIAA Layoffs

Boo hoo! Massive RIAA Layoffs: I’m feeling lazy, and the write of the article sums it up pretty nicely so I’ll just quote. “The real issue is that the RIAA has basically managed to run one of the dumbest, most self-defeating strategies over the last decade. Rather than helping major record labels adjust to the changing market, it continually, repeatedly and publicly destroyed...
