Valentine revisited

Be mine. Won't you be mine?

"Puppyhead" wins

Rufus, a 6-year old colored bull terrier, takes Best in Show at the 2006 Westminster Kennel Club. This boy has some 'tude and I love him for it. Solid.

The USA Today reports that Rufus won last night's competition due to his rockin' head, which is "perfectly shaped like an egg." More impressive, however, is that Rufus is the first one of the bull terriers to ever win the competition.

Good job, buddy.

These chics rule...

I recently went skiing for the first time in about 15-plus years. You know, I have to admit I am a pretty good athlete and did well on the slopes despite my inexperience, but DAIM... I have a new found respect and sense of awe for what these gals can do on the halfpipe.
A shout out to Hannah Teter (photo) and
Gretchen Bleiler for the gold and silver medal wins, respectively, yesterday for the Ladies' Halfpipe.

Go USA! Kick it.
