They Say It’s Your Birthday

Best Beer Food

I've never been much of a barfly, so I don't hang around the area of 6th and Main in Boise on Friday and Saturday nights.  I have been down there on occasion, however, and I remember enjoying a chorizo with the works from the vendor Yankee Dog late at night.  I remember standing in line…MORE

Ginger’s Weird Characteristics

I've turned into a video lover. I bought myself a video camera as a college graduation gift to myself. I haven't really touched the camera since I first bought it but lately I've been using it non-stop. Most of the time it is to film my amazing puppy dog, Ginger and of course the other…MORE

Greenbelt

Last week, I decided to go for a walk on the Greenbelt. When I go on walks like this I like to bring my camera. It's springtime so I was hoping to see a lot of wildlife and I wasn't disappointed. I saw some amazing ducks. Some were just the normal ones you see everyday…MORE

I mention peanut butter because someone actually said to me the other…MORE

Happy Woofday!

Not everyone knows the birthday of their dog.  I've only had three dogs in my life, and I didn't know the birthdays of the first two.  But I do know the birthday of my current dog.  His name is Fred, and he was born October 31, 2006. That makes Fred a Scorpio.  I don't personally…MORE

Sad Cubs Fan!
