Possibly the funniest television show ever

Anybody who likes to laugh should definitely check out the DVDs of the 1999 television series Action. We just finished watching, and even though we'd previously seen all the episodes on TV, this show is still hilarious. It really was funnier on TV when they bleeped out the bad words, but NOT when they pixillated them. I still believe that the show was canceled because it was too true about Hollywood.

Some things that make me happy

• Palm trees
• Dogs wagging their tails
• Flip-flops, and being able to wear them 6+ months a year
• Spring Training
• My great-nephew
• Maui
• Christmas Eve
• New Orleans French bread
• Driving with the sunroof open and the stereo on
• Hummingbirds
• The Santa Catalina mountains
• Saturday night dinners with my sweetie

Dogs

These are some of my favorite recent pictures of some of my favorite dogs.
















This month's puppy on our puppy calendar is a really cute little beagle on its back. Apparently Sand3aye thought she could be just as cute.

Cruising Arizona

My mom & I have recently taken some day trips around southern Arizona. It probably doesn't sound exciting to most people, but we love to see where roads go, and what various parts of the state look like. Last week we did the mining town tour -- San Manuel, Mammoth, Winkleman, Hayden, and Kearny. We liked Kearny the best. Yesterday we started out in the same direction, going through Mammoth and Winkleman, then up toward Globe before turning east toward Safford. We detoured through the town of San Carlos on the Apache reservation, then went to Coolidge Dam and along the south side of San Carlos Lake, then on to Pima, Bryce, Thatcher, Safford, then home through Willcox and Benson. A long day, but great weather, and beautiful and interesting scenery. Oh yes, and I learned that Pima cotton is not named for Pima County, but for the town of Pima, Arizona.

22 years!

Yesterday Mr. Beisbolfan & I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. We had a great dinner at Vivace, and reminisced about our fun wedding all those years ago. If we had been the beisbolfans that we are today, we might not have gotten married during the World Series.

While the cat's away

We always wonder what the dogs are doing while we're gone. I got a partial answer last night. Matt was gone, but I was home. Apparently Sand3aye missed Matt. Since she couldn't be with him, she did the next best thing, and snuggled up to his pants and sock.

Autumn in the desert

This is one of the times of the year when we're really glad we live in Tucson. I recently looked at the 3 day forecast, and every day was the same -- high of 85, and low of 58. Perfect, sunny days, and great sleeping weather at night.

Yesterday the Mr. and I went to the West University Neighborhood home tour. What a perfect day to be out and about! It was really interesting to see what people had done to preserve and rennovate their 100 year old houses. It made me wonder whether 80 years from now my 80s tract home will be considered a retro classic. You never know!

Unfortunately my Diamondbacks have not shown up for the National League Championship Series. Their lack of consistent hitting has really caught up with them. It's been a good ride, and even though they're not officially done, we'll be cheering hard for the Rockies in the World Series.
