funny, i've been putting in several hours of sleep time on the couch lately. feel asleep there trying to watch anthony bordain's adventures in sweden. the dog needed a pit stop at 11:30pm but robin and i thought the clock was lying. after that, i sat on the couch until he settled in for what we hoped to be a long nights sleep. what felt like an eternity later i was stumbling up the stairs to bed. luckily, he made it through the night (5am) and was a great puppy right up until i fed him. he is biting/chewing/mouthing a lot lately. and he is not teething yet. his new game is trying to jump on the couch. this would be a big 'hell no!' puppy moment. he must of tried 30 times in a row. my two big dog rules are: 1) no dogs on the furniture/beds 2) dogs don't get food from the dinner table. we will perservere!

my ride last night was ok. i wasn't feeling it so i was just putputing along when some guy came past me. gave me the nod and tried to jam away. whatever. as we got to the hills he slowed down like he had hit a wall. why do people ride so fast on the flats/downhills when what they need to work on is the climbing? i'll never figure it out. anyway, it took me 1 minute to put 400 meters on him and i only surged a little...
