I don't know if you remember, but over a year ago, while in the midst of my unemployment, I dog sat our friend Chelby's dog Katie during the day. She had just lost an eye to glaucoma, so she had to be watched, and since Chelby & Damian both worked and "Uncle Michael" didn't have anything to do during the day, she was with me for two weeks. She's was really sweet while she was here, she would just howl a bit in the mornings when Chelby dropped her off - a separation anxiety thing.
So, Damian called me this afternoon to let "Uncle Michael" know that they had lost Katie. She was out in front of the house with Chelby's mom Carolyn when she decided to chase a UPS truck that was passing by. At least there's consolation that she didn't suffer at all. She was always really friendly and sweet when we were over at their house. I'll miss her.
Yep, I heard this on the radio last night while driving home. Hooters Air has officially taken to the skies (it was the old Pace Airlines). It's based out of Atlanta, and so far only serves Myrtle Beach, S.C. with service to Newark, N.J. starting March 20. Each flight has 3 Flight Attendants and "Hooters Girls" who are there to "just be friendly." (They're serving the drinks.)
Time for another Friday Five...
1. What was the last song you heard? Crap. I had the Channel 5 news on this morning and they had a musical improv troupe on that did a song about Dr. Phil called "What was I thinkin'" and it was soooo bad and now it's stuck in my head like an earworm.
2. What were the last two movies you saw? Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Die Another Day. (Don't get to the movies as often as we would like.)
3. What were the last three things you purchased? a marchFIRST windbreaker from eBay, a powered 5x8 multiswitch to redistribute my satellite signal around the house, and some cables to do a better job of video capture with my Dazzle Hollywood Bridge and Adobe Premiere.
4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? See our friends B&B, go to the movies, do to Comiskey Park (damn it, I can't call it U.S. Cellular Field yet...) for the Garage Sale, and have my mom & sister over for dinner.
5. Who are the last five people you talked to? I work on a help desk - I talk to people around the country. I don't remember who they all are.
