I loved getting a root canal so much that I’m getting one for my dog. A little more than a year ago, I noticed that one of Isis’ teeny little lower front teeth looked like it had been worn down. I googled it, got scared and took her to the vet, whose reaction was basically,Continue reading “My canine’s canines”

Is this line secure?
Back in the day, paper records were considered to be the reliable, permanent thing, right? I’m sure there was a time when sending someone an email felt riskier than sending it in the regular mail…or even sending a fax. If they have the paper in hand, I know they’ve got it. This email thing? IContinue reading “Is this line secure?”
You can bring your dog
Last summer we took Isis on a couple of road trips. She does great in the car, but her nighttime barking was a major stressor. Even though we stayed places that allowed dogs (except for one sleazy place we sneaked her into. Sneaked. A German shepherd.), every time she barked, Rob said, “She’s going toContinue reading “You can bring your dog”
Moshi Moshi
Rob’s parents and older sister are hosting Japanese exchange students for two weeks. Three boys altogether. We met them this morning and showed them how to play Wii. I got all excited about showing them my photos from when I stayed with a family in Japan for two weeks when I was almost their sameContinue reading “Moshi Moshi”
Me: 2 / Vancouver: 0
An e-mail regarding a Canadian parking ticket: It seems I was refunded the $45 fee twice, in one $90 check. I am happy to pay the city back … but I live in Washington. To pay back $45, it winds up costing me money, in foreign exchange fees and postage, or the gas in myContinue reading “Me: 2 / Vancouver: 0”
Little tearful
Here’s someone who was unhappier than we were to be on the extremely crowded Kangra Valley Rail. You have to click to see the larger picture, to really get a good look at those welling-up tears. Here’s another unhappy traveler, although she seems more annoyed than anything: Don’t know why I felt better, having documentedContinue reading “Little tearful”
Flashing back (cue whoosing sound from Lost)
Remember when I called Delhi hell on earth? I sorta meant it. I’ve finally gotten around to editing my Mumbai (Bombay) and Delhi photos, and I think the reason it took me so long is that I feel conflicted about those captured moments. That was about the point the trip turned around, and our daysContinue reading “Flashing back (cue whoosing sound from Lost)”
Our trip in pictures (Part 1 of 999)
I hope no one’s tired of my trip to India yet. We’ve been back almost 2 weeks, and I’m still uploading pictures. Can you believe I’ve created 7 new albums on Facebook, and not one of them contains a picture of my dog? Nepal Along the Ganges The Bodhi Tree Calcutta, Chennai and Cochin ObligatoryContinue reading “Our trip in pictures (Part 1 of 999)”
The Sleeper Bus
Can’t recommend it. Clearly our multi-train journey was not the most efficient or comfortable method of travel between Delhi and Dharamsala, so we decided to follow the world’s advice and take the sleeper bus. It sounds so easy. Show up and get on the bus. They sell tickets for the thing all over town. SposedtaContinue reading “The Sleeper Bus”
