Oh hey! I have a blog...  I've decided to make an effort at reviving this, partly because I've made an effort to divorce myself from facebook in the last few months, but also that I've been rebuilding my website in the background for many months (this is still the old one) - and in rebuilding the couple thousand old blog posts, I kind of appreciate and miss the diary nature of them. That means there will be plenty of banal and probably boring posts, just like before; but hopefully some interesting ones in there as well.  Since you can never go wrong with babies or puppies, lets start there...

I trekked with my pal Andrew to Corgi Beach Day in Long Beach yesterday. We got there toward the end, and unfortunately since it wasn't at the actual dog beach, they kicked all the dogs off the beach once they hit the ending time, but we still got time to wander and hang out with a lot of cute pups. It's always fun getting to see a bunch of dogs together playing on the beach, but make it mostly Corgis and it becomes even more of a cute overload. I didn't get to pet them all, but it made a fun and good-for-the-heart diversion, plus an excuse to go wander around Long Beach for the day.
