Tom Brady Bunch

I had no idea Tom Brady was the seventh child of the Brady Bunch.

Kudos to Tom for very decent acting in this spoof, and to Drew Bledsoe for his sense of humor in making a cameo.

This One's for the Ladies - Understanding Men

Thanks to my buddy Mark for sharing this video with me. I had no idea a camera crew had been following me and Ann for months.

Bill's Last Day

Kudos to Bill Gates on serving up a funny, self-deprecating video to CES attendees.

Coolest Dog Ever

My dog Lindsay, as has been well documented on this blog, is awesome. I'm undecided about whether or not she enjoys or merely puts up with riding in my truck with me. I lean toward her enjoying it.

Just like most happy-go-lucky dogs, she wags her tail and sticks her head out if I open a window when it's warm outside. This winter she's taken upon a different attitude. No longer does she curl up on the back seat and wait patiently until we reach our destination. I think Linds might be getting bored with how much time she spends on the road.

I submit the following photographic evidence for consideration.Yep ... she stands on the passenger seat and rests her chin on the dashboard while watching the road ahead. Does she think I'm a bad driver? Is she looking for the police? Is she hoping to spot a distant squirrel?

Until science develops a dog-to-human communication device, I'll never know.

My Best Friend's Girlfriend

My dog Lindsay is my best friend. Lindsay is one of those dogs that's so worshipful to her master that it's embarrassing. She follows me at all times, even if it's to the bathroom at 3:00 in the morning. She's never more than ten feet from me. I take her everywhere I go -- to the hardware store, to work, to my friends' houses. Yeah, it can get a tad annoying when I'm trying to mow to lawn or use the snowblower, but I find it endearing.

"Linds" has a best doggy friend. Her name is Jenny. She lives about a half mile away from where I work, and comes over to visit just about every day.

A couple of years ago, a 10-year-old boy came to my office and asked if anybody had seen a shaggy border collie who hadn't home for dinner. Had I seen her? Well, yes, I've seen her every day for the last three years. We're buddies. Good buddies. She's laid down underneath my desk and napped, curled up with Linds, on many occasions.

Last week I twisted up a holiday card for Jenny's family into a Ziplock back and tied it to Jenny's collar. Sadly, there's been no return carrier pigeon dog note. C'est la vie.
