a bitter beast

Since Farley started having ligament problems, she isn't allowed to go outside without a leash, because she's prone to running at top speed for hours and not coming home when called. But since the weather has been snowy and temperatures have been in the single digits, we like to open the door and let her run free. She hates the cold, and it's fun to see her come back all grumpy and bitter after only a couple minutes of freedom. During the blizzard, she was only out for a minute before accumulating snow and running back inside, which she promptly shook all over the house. We got all the snow shoveled, including a narrow deep path on the porch.
Also, as a loyal Maryland Terp, my dislike for Duke basketball is only surpassed by my loathing of the Red Sox. You may or may not know that the Terps win over the Blue Devils last Sunday was the game that finally knocked Duke from the top 25 rankings for the first time in like a decade. Here is a link to an article about Duke's slide. "Krzyzewski blamed his team's recent fall in the rankings to a combination of unusually even-handed officiating, and 'vengeful' opposing teams 'running up the score' to a total of one or more points than Duke's". Hilarious.
