Rosie Breakthrough
It seems every week we have some new breakthrough with Rosie. Generally, these breakthroughs have little to do with Rosie learning a new command or a trick. It usually involves us altering our behaviors or her environment in some way to accommodate her nature. For example, the first week or so Rosie had several accidents [...]

Another Busy Week
I made some serious progress this week on my manuscript. I’m mostly working on ASP.NET content, which has been a lot of fun to play around with. Rosie only had one accident in the house this week, which was really our fault for not taking her out sooner.
I added 1GB of RAM to my laptop, [...]

Got my rejection letter today, finally. Here’s the timeline:
Second interview on Jan 25th.
Left voicemail with hiring manager following up on Thursday, Feb 2. (I sent a thank you letter on Jan 26.)

TGIF
So far my Friday is shaping up to be OK:
No rejection letters came in the mail. (woohoo!)
I ate a yummy lunch of leftover roasted vegetable soup and egg salad.
I’m making good progress on my book.
I could make better progress if I didn’t have to take the dog out to pee every hour AND if my [...]
