Thankfully I'm not a huge Yankee fan! I do love following your blog though! Rosie is quite a personality! LOL! Very cute... And economical! I wonder if the peninsula will accept her as a guest... If not, you are welcome to drop her off at hotel Mourlot! taj tsk Ted… Thankfully I’m not a huge Yankee fan! I do love following your blog though! Rosie is quite a personality! LOL!

I would love to hear her breaking the sound barrier but that might be painful to tape. If you get the opportunity though, please consider it.

But in the most wonderful and inspiring sort of way so keep it up! Second, in honor of Rosie's combination bath/poop extravaganza, I located a site I hope you have not yet already found: PORKOPOLIS. I quote: "Porkopolis.org is a collection of arts, literature, philosophy and other varied considerations of the pig. In the irreducible complexity of what we call nature, pigs are one of the most iconic and paradoxical animals ever to have developed a relationship with man. Some form of pig has been visibly present in the vast majority of human societies. The pig is a grand character in much of human’s cultural history." Third, please tell E I hope she is mending and look forward to catching up when you finish this latest jaunt! XO, Helen OK so first of all you do know you are all quite mad, yes? But in the most wonderful and inspiring sort of way so keep it up!

Rosie has a peerless charm and a downright winsome facial expression, so it's probably time for Ted to get on the "okay, I love the pig, I admit it" bandwagon as soon as dignity permits. Very curious to see what happens with public lodging, as most people probably think of pigs as livestock vs. pets but who knows? FYI, if you get to CA our family regards pigs as a favored species and my children are likely to try to steal her from you so they can keep her as their own pet. I foresee all kinds of excuses to miss school, etc. So you always have a place to stay in Palo Alto. PS my sister has a giant ranch and an overly-friendly Rhodesian Ridgeback so Rosie would be able to roam with impunity. Ted, Elizabeth and Most Intrepid Children –

My D5000 didn't want to turn on last weekend so I sent it to service. I used the spare D40x today and got the dreaded error message "Press shutter release button again".
