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.

ICE
The glistening beautiful layer of ice coating all the branches was finally rained away this afternoon. The thick fog has lifted and the wind is picking up. We're above 32 degrees for the first time in a couple of icy cabin-bound days! In fact it's jumped from 31F at noon to 44F at 4 PM so I guess the warm front arrived. The next weather change of the day is supposed to be an evening cold front moving into the area and refreezing whatever moisture remains. We still haven't had a real snow but I'm hoping for that Monday night.
The Financial Peace University class is going well and our refinance on the house looks like it will close on Friday after three postponements due to the rust spots on the roof (where the cats POOP) and the appraiser's difficulty in deciding a value on the little cabin in the woods. The last appraiser just listed it as an additional outbuilding like a barn or shed. This appraiser felt it should be listed as a guest house and was determined to find something comparable in the area so he could price it. The new mortgage payment should be quite a bit lower and allow us to pay it off early.
We missed our Web 2.0 Class at Liberty High School again this week because of a problem with the school system's Internet filter and new password restrictions. I hope it gets straightened out because I'm really ready to get back on track and learn new tricks!
I finally gave in last week and called the doctor for antibiotics to wipe out my sinus/ear infection. I feel lots better now and even showed up at Tai Chi ready to rumble on Thursday afternoon. Due to final exam schedules no teachers showed up again (2nd week in a row). The two of us that did come agreed to postpone class so the others wouldn't miss the last class in our session. Ergo, tomorrow will be the end of my first Tai Chi course. But never fear, I will sign up for the next round because I think I'm really getting a lot out of Tai Chi.
I leave for Harrisburg, PA on Friday after our mortgage closing to attend a seminar with Shiner, his brother, and my friend Kathy (their breeder). We hope to learn the finer points of showing dogs so we can earn some titles with these boys and put 'em to work as stud dogs!
