Jackson Heights Life

I bow to your wisdom. But have to go out ( again!). Hope it is air conditioned!

I braved the heat.  Me and my trusty dog.  We went and had pizza for lunch (in the City), then off to my class at mac on 14th Street (Casey hung out under the table) then the dog run at Union Square, then dinner at an outdoor cafe (Sullivan St. Cafe) where dogs are very welcome.  We're both tuckered out.

I win cuz I want to.

for $99 you can go once a week for a whole year and have a personal one to one class about anything you want to learn.  they have classes that you can pick or you can show up with a list of questions and jump from iphoto editing to numbers to blah blah blah.... you get the point.  Extremely well worth the money.  After having windows OS for a decade I had lots of questions at first and they got me on board really fast.  Now I'm just taking an occassional class for the hell of it.  And the 14th Street store is great.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. OF THE WORLD.

Casey is pretty amazing and  has a lot more energy than I do.  Thank God they don't have "people runs" because I would have protested today.  Decided Jones Beach was a better option.

If you take him to the movies, buy him those little bite-sized chocolate-covered ice cream thingys! He'll be very, very quiet for you!

I know dogs can't eat chocolate.

A dog would have to eat 400%–500% of his body weight to be poisoned. How do you think they train an aggressive alpha male to be submissive? Most alphas won't work for just plain food, even if it is bologna. They use M&Ms. Turns most teeth-showing, growling alphas into a spread-eagled, willing-to-learn wussy puppy! (Try it, bite one in half, put it to Casey's nose, let him get a good sniff, then ask him to do something he has been unwilling to learn, after he does it, let him have the half. I've only known 1 dog in my lifetime that didn't work for. She much preferred slivers of parmigiano cheese!)

The Weather Channel is trying to convince me that just because today is supposed to be 10 degrees lower than yesterday, at ONLY 86 degrees, it's gonna seem so much cooler! It will take an act of G-d, or a ConEd blackout, to turn my air conditioning off today!
