Chester 150% RDA of cuteness




I've been thinking about this one for a while now. We got Chester almost nine months ago. I had said that after the last dog I had, I'd never get another one. With all the kids we've got, I just didn't need the hassle.

But my wife Angie has a weakness for cute animals, and in mid-winter, it caught up with her. Since she had done so much for me, since I owed her more appreciation than any other person in the world, I didn't even think of putting up a fight (she could have wanted a boa constrictor and I would have found a way to make it work :) So, in February we got Chester the dog.

It wasn't but a few seconds before I was overwhelmed with his cuteness and any shred of internal resistance that I might have still been harboring was gone. There's something about a living, moving ball of fluffiness that makes it impossible not to believe that the world is, in fact, a wonderful place and that just to be alive is all the awesomeness that one can handle.

So that's Chester. Our lazy little mop dog. He lightens the load without even trying.

So much fun, you have to be ready for it.

 I think the key to handling a backpacking trek is to always be generally active. Walk, run, bike, skateboard, roller skate —- whatever. Our bodies are made to move, and we need to keep them moving. I hear they tend to last longer and perform better that way, AND you’re more ready to take on that backpacking trek that comes up now and then without having to put a lot of time into getting in shape. You can spend that time instead on figuring out how to make sure you have what you’ll need and still be able to carry that monster of a pack on your back.  Those things are heavy.

Hey everybody! Here's some stuff I've been working on recently.  I wanted to put the pieces together to see how they looked-- kind of like when you step back from a painting to see if you've got the proportions correct.   These are all shirt designs for a line of t-shirts that I'm going to be producing out of my shop.  I'm pretty excited about them.  I think I'm going to do some more with this series, but I'm not sure what to do next.
