Happy Tuesday

Childish things that annoy me:

I'm reading a book, it is an attempt to create a Dan Brown type thriller around a lost Shakespeare play. It's not a very good book, but what really annoyed me is that the main character, who is supposed to be a Shakespeare scholar, quoted "All that glitters is not gold." which is wrong. It is a common mistake, a lot of people make it, but it is wrong. The character who says it is supposed to be a top notch Shakespeare scholar, and "All that glitters is not gold." Is A newbie error. A first year Shakespeare student would not make that mistake, let alone a Shakespeare scholar.

Yeah, I know, it is unimportant, but it is annoying me!

Puppy News

The puppy hit a milestone today, he caught a dog chew I threw at him. That may not seem big for a 16 month old puppy, but it is for this fellow, first time he has done it.

It is not that he can't catch. He is quite good at catching. He loves it when I throw balls, sticks, Frisbees, or one of his squeaky toys for him to catch. But he does not catch food. If you throw food at him he ducks and lets it fall to the floor before sniffing it and checking it is edible.

Today was the first day he actually trusted anyone enough not to poison him, and caught the chew.

And since it was me who threw it, I feel honoured!
