Reason Jason Campbell Sucked...

... After the first two drives of the Raiders/49'ers

Hue Jackson drew up plays for the first 30 plays or so. The first drive used up 13 plays. The second drive used up 12 plays. Jason Campbell look completely lost after the first row drives. What does this tell me? Jason Campbell is a stage actor not an improv actor. He only does well when he has memorized his lines and if the opposing team follows the scripted as written by Hue Jackson.

Problem is, how many teams will follow that script?

Sinus Mucus Chunks

It's been a really long time since I've written. Life has a way of getting away from me and this past year, life zoomed away with me along for the ride. R'wick is now nearly a year old and big, and Bratworse and I just love him to bits.

This morning, as I struggled with my sinus infection/cold, I blew out what was a fairly solid chunk of mucus. It was fascinating to me how 1) big it was; 2) how technicolored it was - mostly white with yellow and red marbled in; and 3) how not liquid it was. It was more like a gelatinous cube.

I should've taken a photo but I know Bratworse would be much grossed out by this. Next time I blow out a sizable chunk, I'll document it.

Anyway, I just had to share. Aren't you glad that this is the first post after so many months of silence?

Obedience School

R'wick had his first class tonight at the Oakland Dog Training Club. It was a great success. I am so proud of him that he didn't bite a single dog. He and this german shepherd dog really hit it off, we think. We also ran through some agility lessons and he did really well. Most of the dogs there were 4 months old. He was one of the youngest there, and one of the most excited. He just wanted to meet everyone.

R'wick the Wonder Dog

We got a dog. Can you tell? Yes, it's been quite a while since I wrote on here, but life has been quite interesting, so much so that, to share it here would violate some confidences.

However, I can share that we got a dog. A husky to be specific. Why? Call it a whim, but man, has this whim paid off!

Meet R'wick. See the picture of him on the blue cushion? That's him at seven weeks when we first got him. He had old soul eyes from the start - sad eyes, but knowing eyes. The picture on the right? That's him playing in some lily pads. Yes, our boy is becoming a redhead and being crazy just like all the redheads I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

He's got an arrow on his tail as if to say "That's where I was"and he's starting to get a red strip down his spine. We had thought he'd be a gray dog but alas, nature has a sense of humor, y'know. AND, the great/bad thing? He's getting a ring around his eyes which makes for a raccoon-eyed siberian husky. Why is it great? Because it's unusual markings. Why is it bad? A walk takes twice as long because nearly everyone stops to comment on the rings around his eyes.

It was just like being around a toddler with naturally curly frizzy hair. Everyone stops to comment on it. Yes, I lived through that too.

Anyway, glad to be back and be on the lookout for exciting changes to Cholotto.com. We'll be adding temporary tattoos, sketches, and a ton of stuff.
