Even though she’s quite a bit bigger now she can make herself small enough to fit in the rubber water bowl.\u00a0 This means that when I fill it up, it soon empties.\u00a0 I have to go buy a smaller bowl, one she can’t use for cooling off.<\/p>\nBeltane\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waxing Planting Moon<\/p>\n
Vega the wonder dog continues a puppy habit. Even though she’s quite a bit bigger now she can make herself small enough to fit in the rubber water bowl.\u00a0 This means that when I fill it up, it soon empties.\u00a0 I have to go buy a smaller bowl, one she can’t use for cooling off.<\/p>\n
In other dog related news I bought two sprinkler heads to replace the ones purloined by either Vega or Rigel.\u00a0 They have a high degree of energy and intelligence.\u00a0 That makes them inquisitive and with dogs this size that means destructive.<\/p>\n
I spent the morning on Ovid, translating verses of the Metamorphoses, 11-15.\u00a0 This is a slow process for me because I have to look up each word, discern which of the possible words it probably is, determine its possible declension or conjugation, then go back and try to put all this together in an intelligible English line.\u00a0 Latin poetic conventions make this difficult since words that below together are sometime split apart by as much as a verse.\u00a0 Also, Ovid, like Shakespeare loved neologisms so sometimes the word he’s used is the only time it was ever used in Latin.<\/p>\n

Kate has a big month taking shape.\u00a0 She leaves on Tuesday for San Francisco and two continuing medical education conferences which will take until June 6th.\u00a0 On June 30th she has hip surgery.\u00a0 She needs the surgery, her hip is painful for her and painful for me to watch.<\/p>\n

Final Sierra Club legislative meeting for the 2010 session tonight.\u00a0 There will probably be work upcoming related to next year’s session, but for the near term future, that work will come to a close.\u00a0 No more weekly meetings.\u00a0 Happy hour after this meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
