Best Week Ever

I don't know if you guys remember VH1's "Best Week Ever" show. Well, they now have a daily blog of pop culture happenings, and Brian's short made it up there for today (4/17). Check it out at http://www.bestweekever.tv/.

Yay, Brian!

Los Angeles or bust!

This past weekend I went to L.A. to visit Brian and Heather. We had a great time together, and attended a premier party for a comedy short that Brian made (starring Heather, more on that in a minute). We also walked around a Thai street festival and watched some sort of Thai-style kick boxing, which looked quite painful. John and Winston had a bachelor weekend at home, and I'm sure they missed me between the beer and Taco Bell they consumed.



For several weeks now, Brian has been polishing up a comedy short that he wrote and directed, called "Behind the Fake Music." I'm posting two versions of it (the first is higher quality). If you like it (and you should!!), feel free to share it...the more hits the better. And, as Brian warns: "Beware, there is some salty language and situations that may be slightly NSFW (aka, Not Safe For Work)."

Happy Easter weekend!

This weekend has been an exhausting, wonderful weekend. Winston graduated from his Agility Foundations class on Saturday (yes, there was a ceremony). After all of the dogs did their last run-through on a sequence of equipment and received their certificates, they were all free to play and romp around in a little pool they set up to cool the dogs off. Winston typically doesn't volunteer to go in the water, but after a fun day in the sun he was ready to splash around, and he did. We also signed up for the next level of Agility, starting in June. All of these classes are through the Humane Society to help fund their shelter and clinic, so if anyone is interested see their website.

Today has been a quieter day, and a great way to celebrate Easter. I cooked a big brunch for John and I, and was the first time I made a ham (thanks to Johnnie's help). To keep with Easter tradition, Winston and I indulged in a little nap! Lovely.

Mazel Tov!

This past weekend was packed with festivities to celebrate Julie and Ronen's wedding. Saturday night was a rehearsal dinner, and Sunday was the wedding. It included a touching ceremony, a kick-ass reception, and a wonderful and happy couple......Mazel Tov!

Me with said students' wives. I just realized that accountants must not like blondes.

Here are a few videos of Winston on the agility equipment today. Enjoy!

WinstonWear

Many of you have seen this shirt already, but I figured it deserved a blog post. At Christmas, I opened up a gift from Brian that at first looked like a pink shirt. Then I took a careful look at the shirt and realized it was the Best Gift Ever. I think a whole clothing line of WinstonWear would sell off the racks, don't you?
