MICHAEL MOORE

Ha Ha. Just started reading Michael Moore's "Dude, Where's my Country" yesterday. Only on chapter one but find it fascinating already. This master of criticizing American right wing politics is as funny as he is serious. I'm looking forward to getting through it. After finally seeing Bowling For Columbine and finding it to be one of the best documentaries I've seen, I figured it was about time to give his books a read.

BEST OF SHOW

Well, my first dog show. The dogs were cute, prancing and jumping around the ring. We drove down to Chilliwack to check out the show with hopes of seeing some well-bred Schnauzers that would still not stack up against my Lacey. However, when we arrived we saw but one Schnauzer. However, I must say, "Lacey was so much better looking". Oooh, a dog owner's bias! -- but in this case she was.

Anyways, the show was interesting. The judges looked somewhat overdressed in their formal attire and the handlers were equally as awkward most seeming to be winded after one quick prance around the ring. Some dog's pranced with that same stick up their rear as their handlers while most others were too interested in sniffing the trail of the dog's that blazed the way ahead of them. The judges seemed a little overzealous, each one piercing the dog's with their expert critical eyes and in the end passing judgment that made winners jump and losers hang their head as if their world had now officially ceased to exist. So in the end, the true stars really were the dogs.

I saw probably every breed of dog imaginable. Dog's that were as small as the palm of your hand against horses that were apparently dogs. So the day was great, the dogs were cute and I realized how much I really needed to give Teddy a grooming.

Wow.....what a fabulous week this has been. The sun has been shining and it's been unbelievably warm. I've even been able to pull out a pair of white pants that I've been longing to get into. I love sunny weather.

Adrian and I went downtown with our rollerblades the other day and tore the seawall up. Well, actually he tore it up while I tried not to fall. I'm actually not that bad of a blader and rarely fall, it's just the whole stopping thing. My stopping techniques right now consist of slowing down until eventually friction takes over and I gradually come to a stop or running into a wall. Though these have worked in the past, Adrian is teaching me proper stopping techniques.

It was also Adrian's "Homecoming" the other day. In our family, since we're all adopted, we celebrate the day that we arrived in Canada like a second birthday. It's always been a lot of fun and as a kid I could tell my friends that I had two Birthdays. So, we went over Buba's for dinner and had a good time.

I also saw "Bowling for Columbine" this week. Wow. If anybody hasn't seen it yet I suggest that you turn off your computer and go rent it. It was fabulous. It's been recommended to me a million times and I'm sorry that I didn't rent it sooner.

Anyhoo....I can't think of anything else to write about so i'll say Goodbye!
