So. Did you see House last night? oh.my.god. I had just finished reading Beth Dunn's guest blog at The Egalitarian Bookworm (Chick?), which made me laugh until I cried. Then I turned on House, and all of a sudden I was crying again - but not from laughter. No spoilers here - just see the latest episode of House. It's a heartbreaker.

Yesterday, I was talking about Lupa (the Lovely), the Golden Retriever with whom my husband carried on a ten-year affair. I remembered that if I looked in my other computer, I might find a picture of her, and sure enough, here it is. This is Lupa with Robin, who looks very stern. I don't remember why. Maybe it's because he's sitting on the edge of a precipice. The photo is from our trip to Orcas Island*, where we met a group of online friends for a long weekend. We were meeting some of the folks for the first time, but others had long since become offline, visible friends. We had a great time, and Lupa was the star of the weekend.I took this sunset picture from a cabin near the shore. We had traveled in our motor home, but everybody else had come by plane, and they stayed in one or the other of the cabins. There were people from as far away as Texas, Missouri, and Vermont.

Have I mentioned that I love the interwebs? I meet the most interesting people here.


*Orcas Island is part of the San Juan chain. It is located in the northwestern corner of the United States - just a stone's throw from my home on Vancouver Island, B.C.
