For those keeping score at home:

1. I did the only thing I could think to do to defeat the endless loop of "beyond bonny banks and beyond bonny braes...." in my head. I started singing "Danny Boy" over and over in my head. It was Ireland vs. Scotland. In the end they both gave up and went to the pub for rounds of pints.

2. Rufus has a new home. Aww. It was tough to say goodbye to him, though he's not far away. He'll be living close by and we'll probably see him now and again. In a way it's lucky he went, otherwise we'd have four dogs of our own.

3. We got a stationary bike this weekend. That's why I'm walking like this.
