Giant, inflatable colon

It’s been slow for Crohn’s related news but I did manage to find an article about a giant, inflatable colon making its rounds throughout Canada.  Apparently, the $75,000 poop shoot is about education, complete with polyps, inflammation, and other afflictions of the intestinal tract.  Those Canadians sure know how to make learning fun! :)

Motorcycle Safety Course

I started my motorcycle safety course yesterday at the local Harley dealership.  It was pretty informative and I enjoyed it a lot.  Tonight we review a lot of information and then Saturday and Sunday we hit the road course to put our learning into action.  I am pretty excited about that.

One may think, what possesses a guy to learn to ride a motorcycle after 29 years of 4-wheeled driving… well, my wife.  My wife has nagged me to death about getting a motorcycle, so I broke down and told her I would learn to ride.  Last night I told one of the instructors this was the reason I had enrolled in his class, all he could say was:

God bless her….

Puppy Time-Out

Puppy in her kennel

I'm sorry Daddy

Here is a picture of my beautiful Bull-Mastiff puppy.  She is not really in trouble, it is just bed time and she sleeps in her kennel.  I am not quite sure what I was thinking here; this dog has ten times the energy I do, she loves to chew on everything including me, and I am going to be living in poverty if she does not stop eating… her mother weighs 140 pounds.

I suppose that she has her benefits; there are times when she looks at me, like in this picture, and it makes me forget all the trouble she causes, also she will make a really good guard dog as an adult.
