Syd called today to let me know that she's canceling her after school Web 2.0 class for the rest of the year due to filter password issues. Kathy and I plan to continue the program on our own but it was so much better to go learn at the feet of the masters so to speak! We'll miss our Monday afternoons at LHS Library but I guess that clears the afternoon for a new round of springtime dog obedience classes.
In the few weeks we did have class, I got hooked on blogging and have posted on both my blog and my dog Shiner's blog. I was inspired to coordinate my accounts with Twitter and Facebook. I set up a Dogster Page and a web site for Shiner. His site links his Dogster Page, Blog, Splash Dog titles and jump statistics, and his OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) stats for breeding information. I will be able to continue adding information there and anyone interested in using him as a stud dog will have easy access to all his documentation. I feel that I got a great deal from Syd's class and am truly sorry to see it end.

Missed Class
Well, I missed the third class at LHS due to the course I teach in Roanoke, but I'm still determined to get a handle on blogging. I will finish up my UVA Wise course on Reference and Bibliography next Monday so I'll be able to get to future classes and learn more.
I've also been taking tai chi on Thursday afternoons at Staunton River High School and really enjoying it. I think it's helping me improve my balance. It is SO hard to remember the moves to practice at home. I'll have to start working with the dvd so I don't forget it all over the Winter Break. There's one more class next week but I may have to miss that for a dental appointment. It was supposed to be a routine cleaning but it's in Roanoke and I've broken a crown so that may take longer.
I added a photo of Shiner to his blog today and also a new post. I really want to take a picture of him with all the ribbons he won at the UKC Conformation Show in Wakefield, VA last weekend. Oh, that reminds me! Kathy and I shared a room with our two dogs. Our TV spontaneously caught fire the first morning and filled the room with acrid smoke. We stood around FREEZING outside of our room in jammies for more than an hour. Not an auspicious beginning for a show, but both dogs did well, winning 75 points EACH toward a title (100 points).
