The year of the rabbit has ended, and we are now in the year of the dragon. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the I Ho Chuan last year and I found the banquet to be a wonderful conclusion to the year. I am very excited for the upcoming year, and I have been working

This has been an exciting and challenging year. Life has changed drastically since the start of the year, and I have enjoyed being a part of the Rabbit Team. I must admit that my numbers were not nearly as good as I had hoped they would be, but I have done almost 5000 more pushups

It has almost been a month since my last post, and my how the time flies. In the words of Monty Python: I’m not Dead yet! I feel Happy! It is amazing how quickly life can fly by and how busy we can get. Over the past few weeks I’ve had a couple of things

This past Saturday was rough. We have three dogs, Marika a Havanese, and her two puppies Paddy and T2 who are Havanese crossed with Japanese Chins. The brothers are about three years old now and have always lived together. Occasionally, they get into little spats trying to establish who the alpha is. They’ve never actually
