I need a good name for our new Rat Terrier

Xtina and I have decided that our lives will be complete if and only if we get our own rat terrier puppy. I want you to take a good look at the picture provided and tell me that you don't want one too. Teddy Roosevelt had one! And many say 'nipper,' the dog on the RCA logo, is a rat terrier. Oh, how I love rat terriers.



Working in student affairs has been fine. I have enough time between clerical projects to perform important endeavors, such as researching rat terriers as well as political parties in dutch parliament, or the "tweede kamer." When I was in holland for the '03 election I loved learning about all the parties and the process. They just had another election last week which resulted in a huge win for the socialist party. Metal and I met a young socialist party member in Middleburg who gave Metal his party membership card because "it's important not to have any identification on you 'in case something happens.'"

Thanksgiving was good, we drove to Madison (which is a longer drive than we thought) to have a vegetarian feast with my sister, brother in law and his parents.

Last night we saw 'the devil and daniel johnston' which was great, the night prior we finally watched 'an inconvenient truth' which was also great, but for different reasons.

I'm back at work, I'm not sure when I'll get my interview, and I've decided not to spend time worrying about it. Instead I'll watch 'a charlie brown christmas' tonight on TV.
