My wife and I were very proud Wednesday afternoon to come home with a new friend in tow.
That's our new daughter meeting one of our cats, Fern, for the first time. Our black lab, Chloe, was decidedly disinterested (once it was determined that the carseat did not contain and could not provide food, of course). I'm sure they'll be best buds before too long.
For now, obviously, I may be MIA here and there as I have some new duties to attend to, but rest assured, I'll still be lurking about. Who knows? Maybe some day she will herself come here to ask "the dog"
* a question about something or another in her dad's wacky AV setup.
* My wife often refers to all of Interact as "talking to the dog" (Matt's avatar being the dog in question). This is typically used when something in MC (with which she is surprisingly skilled) doesn't work right for her, and I am instructed to "tell the dog" about the problem. Usually something like: "if you're going to be talking to the dog so much, you might as well tell him to fix" such-and-such, or "hmmm... the dog needs to know about this", or maybe "tell the dog I said this is <expletive deleted>" if it is a particularly nasty one. This is, of course, despite her knowing full-well what Interact is, and where J River is located, and who JimH and marko and Alex B all are. I catch her reading from the other room when I have Interact up on the HTPC all the time.
