Hi everyone. I am moving my site over from Joomla — granted there isn’t much there, but I was tired of dealing with the horrible Joomla interface. WordPress has quirks too, but is _much_ simpler and seems to be good enough for my uses. Now that things are easier to update, hopefully, I’ll be posting more often.

My parents got a new dog today. They signed up for a Briard rescue network and got word that there was a Briard in distress in OshKosh, Wisconsin. We had a briard when I was younger, a big black dog named Kailey (sp?). This one isn’t black — more tan/brown colored with a black face. Apparently he is very big (stands about 3 feet at the shoulder my sister tells me). My mom was fishing for name today, and I think “Bear” has stuck. I’ll get pictures tomorrow when I am up in Chicago and post them here.
