OK - we had a blast at the Daschund Races at U.C. Davis.
I was tickled to watch the cute stubby legs galloping across the room. All the weiner dogs were cute…and as far as I can tell, they’re all winners in my book. Regardless if they made it across the finish line or not.

I checked out the Vacaville Public Library yesterday. It’s a cute spot. I like having access to any book in the Solano County system.
Enjoying a chai latte, chocolate chip cookie and the Sac Bee at the Temple Bar. My dinner after work.
Stopping by the Temple Bar Coffeehouse after my Sunday morning show. I has a crazy 90 minutes of breaking news at the end.
Here’s my savory tomato ravioli soup from Butch-N-Nellie’s in Sacramento. I liked the cheese-filled pasta and the hint of basil.
Doing a lite lunch at Butch-N-Nellie’s in Sacramento. It feels so nice to eat outside. That’s after being cooped up in the newsroom
More scenes from last weekend’s Asparagus Festival in Stockton. My station was a big sponsor of the event.
That pooch loves his board.
Loving my bratwurst and wieinerwurst at Little Prague in Davis. Reminds me of our night of sausages in Prague.
Trying out the Klauster at Little Prague in Davis. A nice, spicy brew.
I clocked another 3 miles of running by Alamo Creek this morning. I needed the cardio after my deep-fried eating fest in Stockton this weekend.
Last week, I landed my axel at Vacaville Ice Sports. I felt like a rock star. I also feel like I’ve made so much progress since I first stepped on the ice in Topeka. When I was competing, this jump was my Achilles’ heel. It messed with my head and it took me forever to master it. About three years, I think. But it also serves as the basically building block for more difficult jumps. After landing the damn thing, I was able to move on to those jumps and more.

I think I’ll managed to get all my double jumps back after this. I’m super happy with last weekend’s sharpening job on my blades. I thought it was worth the 1 1/2 drive to Novato. (yes, Mark drove…but that’s not the point!)
