So, the puppy experiment was a success. I picked up Apache last night, and she was practically comatose from spending the day with another puppy. She slept the whole night (I didn't even have to put her in the crate!). Now, I think this will be a regular thing... at least until I get my own house.

And for adventures

Since I don't have any new adventures to report today, I can tell you about my dream last night. I dreamt that Sarah, Karen and I drove to Antarctica (don't ask me how this is possible, but they warned us to keep our car started or it would freeze -- I can only imagine this means that the gas and oil actually solidifies in such cold weather). All of us being warm-climate people, none of us had appropriate clothes, and Karen kept muttering about frostbite. Then we bought a ticket in the bus station ($3) for a ride to the South Pole. It was a 30 minute trip, and I almost missed the bus because I couldn't get a ticket (this is actually a reoccuring part of my dreams... me getting on some form of mass transit to somewhere, but always nearly missing it, or some chaos resulting). Anyway, the bus ride was 3 hours, and we arrived at a mountain (who would've known, in my dreams, the south pole is at the top of a mountain). Anyway, we had 1 hour to climb the mountain or we would miss the bus back to the car, and my car would run out of gas from being left on, and we would never get home. So we climbed the mountain. Karen's shoes hurt. Sarah was cold. And I was reduced to crawling. Anyway, that's how the dream ended.

Funny, the dream ended before the triumph of the actually getting to the South Pole. But when I woke up I decided that eventually I want to take a year off, go up to Alaska, buy a Land Rover or something (with a GPS), and drive it ALL the way down to the tip of South America, and then take one of those cruise things to Antarctica. Anyone want to come?
