Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Took my car to get a checkup today. Just your normal maintenance. Was told that I need brakes… and a battery. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until I have more money. At the very least I need to get a second…
Brazil was Awesome
Originally published at Lalato.com. You can comment here or there. Liz and I had a wonderful time in Brazil. Pictures are forthcoming (though we didn’t take all that many this trip). The weather was great. Seeing my dad was fun. The beaches were fantastic. In other news… I came back to Chicago to find snow…
Brazil: FAIL!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. I thought a bit before posting about my cosmic FAIL! regarding our trip to Brazil. But now that we’re finally here (and it’s hovering around 0 degrees back home), I figure it can’t hurt anymore. Our flights to Brazil were supposed to…

Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. My sister, Angel, received notice from her employer. She will not have a job after December 31st. If you know of a company in the Jacksonville, FL area that happens to be hiring… let me know. Love, –sam
Pug Partay!!
Since Kiko was very little, we have been taking him to pug parties. Yes, you read that correctly. There is a subculture of people who own pugs and feel compelled to get 30-40 of them (or sometimes in exponentially larger groups) together in one house f…

Kiko the seven-year-old wonder pug is finally starting some obedience training at home with the help of an Ian Dunbar DVD. As Sam and I are hoping and planning for a puppy next year, we figure Kiko should be at least somewhat of a role model for good b…
The tooth, it hurts!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. And now, the bad news… While in Salt Lake City my tooth started bothering me. It’s one that has a crown on it, and it started to feel a little loose. I wasn’t sure if the crown was loose or if the…
Salt Lake City
Here’s what we learned on our trip to Salt Lake City… About 80% of the population is Caucasian. To give you a little perspective on that, I’m from Florida where the non-Hispanic white population is roughly 60%. So yeah… 80% is a whole lot of white people. Not that I have anything against that, it’s…
And Now a Little History . . . Bringing Home Baby Kiko
Seven years ago Sam and I set out on a hunt for pug breeders in central Florida, where we lived at the time. At that time the internet was not much of an accessible route to find information about dog breeds or breeders, so we did things the old fashio…
