A baby is on his way.
We're leaving our home of the past three years, Morgantown, WV, for the snowy, windy, and relatively flat town of Dunkirk, NY.
I'll be working, instead of goofing off full time. The goof-off role will not fall to Shelley, though, who is going to be a full-time, stay at home runner next year. Instead, the goof off duties will fall to the Ornery Dogs, Tessa and Chopper, and the child, Ben.
This pile of digital detritus will be infrequently updated, and will principally serve as a way to keep in touch with family and friends that are mostly far-away.
The subjects will cover the entire spectrum of human thought, emotion, and experience. Seriously. There might be some emphasis on childrearing, storytelling, and outdoor adventures, but since those three things, along with dog-world, encompass the entire human experience, I will not hear complaints.
The principal cast of this ongoing story will be as follows.
Andrew: Husband, Father, Cyclist, Dog Shouter, Mastermind.
(Despondent after 19 hours of climbing in Harrisonburg, VA, with SO-PRO Christopher Michaels.)
Shelley: Wife, Mother, Runner, Dog Cuddler, Enabler.
Ben: Baby. Pictures Forthcoming, ETA 1/26/2010
Tessa: Border Collie Bossy Bitch Extroadinaire, Frisbee Killer, Chief Ornery Dog.
Chopper: One Goofy Aussie Puppy, Principal Under-The-Covers-Snuggler, Softie with Spots. Apprentice Ornery Dog.
So that's the crew, at least for now. Coming up later this week, or at least this month, or hopefully this year, posts about future plans, racing aspirations, fitness, lifestyle, cooking, dogs, dog training, excellence, the law, justice, injustice, ethics, and who knows what else.
And hopefully very soon, the birth of our baby.
YAY! Maybe Shelley could contribute here once every three years or so... :) Then she could delete her other blog.
