Dogs at play

Barking Dog, first in a series

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on...

Seattle Contra Summer

Just a reminder of what we'll be descending into in just a few short months, so as to encourage everyone to enjoy the outside world while it is nice out.

The Wriggler and the extra dogleg

Here's a clip of Señor Beavis playing with one of the dogs' favorite toys, a black Kong material bone known as "The Wriggler". He's clearly not content with just being the only playmate, so he brings in a limb to play the role of the neighbor dog who wants the toy. Princess Buttercup is not amused.

The View from my Lab

One of the nice aspects of the Pacific Northwest is the lovely scenic views (when it isn't gray and raining, of course!). My current research lab job has me working up on the seventh floor and our building is on top of Beacon Hill, a neighborhood elevated a bit above sea level.

The views are quite spectacular, and now that we've actually entered summer for however briefly, they are a nice distraction from the day to day drudgery.

Inaugural post

Hello all who come across this little spot of the internet. The purpose of this blog is to provide periodic updates with some of the things Maggie and I are up to out here in the scenic Pacific Northwest. There will be random musings, pictures, videos, and whatever else strikes our fancy.

In this fashion, we hope to provide a window into our lives for those who are far removed and might be remotely interested in such things (a small subset of the population to be sure). You'll be able to comment if you feel so inclined, although just lurking and observing is certainly fine as well.

Now, by the power of the internet, I hereby kick off the fun and games that will certainly ensue!
