Are we falling or flying …

Despite my original good intentions, it’s been a while since I last blogged, and a lot happened during the time I’ve been away:

• I changed companies/jobs

• The new hickory floor was installed in my bedroom; 1/3 of the master bedroom/bath renovation down, just 2/3 thirds more to go …

• I took a (too) short vacation to El Yunque,and Ponce, Puerto Rico, and returned with a new dog, Rico, a Sato (Puerto Rican slang for “street dog,” or or a stray)  I found near Ponce, P.R.

After two months of regular feedings of Science Diet he is thriving and acts like he is a Seattle native.  While not active in Ponce, there is an amazing non-profit organization based in San Juan, PR, dedicated solely to saving Satos, please check them out if you’re considering adding a dog to your family: Save A Sato.

Each of these should be a blog entry in itself. I’m actually on the road again, in Madison, WI, to meet with one of my new client groups, but will have time to blog more about each of the above during my flight home on Wednesday (and promise to post “then and now” pictures of Rico, too).

Sidenote about being in the midwest again:

I grew up around Chicago, and went to college in Iowa (Go Hawks!) , but haven’t been back here much since - and forgot how hot and muggy it is during the summer - and how hard it rains during thunderstorms - and this is the thunderstorm season here…. I didn’t bring my camera but right now it’s raining much harder than it would be in Seattle…It’s supposed to storm here again tomorrow morning - whoo whoo…!
