New Toy

Soooo excited!  It’s Christmas Morning around the Mayo Villa!!!  MY BIKE FINALLY CAME TODAY!!!

Now if only Manhattan had more roads that were decent for bikers to ride on.  Hmmmm… I’m looking at you Mayor Snead…  HOW ABOUT WE DITCH THE STUPID WEED MUSEUM AND GET SOME BIKE LANES INSTEAD!?

Damn You Winter!

Creepin’ up on me.

Look, it snowed last night.  And this morning, searching through all my (generally warm-weather) shoes, I surmised that the most appropriate pair of shoes to tromp through the snow and ice were…

my golf shoes.

They do look good in all occasions, though.  Thank you Callaway, for making such a fine pair.

Weenie Dog Races 2009

Hello from Mayberry!  Oh no wait I mean Manhattan.

Last weekend was the 4th(?) Annual Weenie Dog Races - it’s a proving ground of sorts, for weenie dogs of all types.

It was a beautiful sunny morning, but there was a pungent smell in the air; that smell was pure competition.  The newly redesigned starting gate was working better than ever, and the dogs were generally running forward in their heats.  The weenie-philes from all over the tri-county area showed up in droves to see this showdown.

The races were not without their controversies, though.  It did get downright nasty a time or two.  Just have a look at this:

Ohhhhhh!  Run over by a fellow weenie!  Can you believe it?!

I think next year I’ll dress more appropriately for the event… something like a fantastic dress and hat, as I would for the Kentucky Derby.

Who said there’s nothing to do in Kansas?!
