Our family has always had German Shepherds. There has been one in our house for as long as I remember.

I vow to end that tradition in my own house.

Not that I don’t like dogs or that there has been one particular incident which drove me to this decision. But it’s all the little things that keep adding up.

Maya is 6 or 7 years old now. She’s incredibly whiny, especially when the wind blows over 5 miles per hour. She’s scared of the wind. We have to put her in the basement. And our washing machine vibrates on the spin cycle, which also drives her bonkers. She wines and whines and whines and practically climbs into your lap whenever she gets really nervous. My sister got Maya from a German Shepherd rescue in Colorado Springs when she was maybe a year and a half old or so (the dog, not my sister). Then she left her at the house.

I’m missing my girlfriend a little today. It’s her birthday and she’s out of town having a blast with her best friend. I’m here in Denver, doing work things and watching her dog for her.

Happy birthday. And come home safely.

If you can’t amuse yourself then you definitely can’t amuse other people.

I am grateful today. This is a special Thanksgiving.

You know who you are. 😉

Jerry directed my production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

I know this girl. She’s really great.

That is all.

Netflix has had “play now” capability for a while now. For anyone using Windows, that is. But they just announced a new beta program for Mac users.

What stinks is that Macs with a PowerPC chip (G4 or G5 Macs) will be left in the dark. It’s only for Intel-powered Macs. It’s not Netflix’s fault. It’s Microsoft’s fault. Netflix uses Microsoft’s Silverlight software to do DRM (something else I dislike). I guess it’s also Apple’s fault for building computers that last a long time and don’t need to be replaced in order to work with their latest operating system.
