Through one circumstance or another (and another), I’m three posts short of a full complement for November. Granted, I did post photos and one 10 seconds one those days, but my goal was to post teh words.
What did I learn? Daily wordsmithing is hard. Course, you already knew that and I’m pretty sure you aren’t limping across the finish line as I am. It’s not that I couldn’t have crafted something to meet my desired daily posting, but it could have been something akin to “Derek said this witty thing and I responded (stupidly) thusly.” Please be thankful that I spared you from that indignity.
I would like to post more frequently. My posting for the month of November exceeded that of the last eleven months and so I have something to work towards. I do have plans to work up a few more photo related photos and someone has requested a 10 second tutorial (that would be how I make the 10 second clips).
I’d like to thank Bug and Chieka for their support (literally). Many of November’s posts were written from the comfort of the sofa at Casa Chawazek with a pup tucked under each arm — a little something like this:
Thank you for following along.

early morning walk report II
If you missed the first installment, you might want to give this a read. It’s totally optional as each emwr is a little individual nugget (quite like healthy dog poop). What I’m doing while you’re still asleep, typically between the hours of 6:00 and 6:30 in the morning:
(Not so early) Our dogs are ageist. They hates the puppies.
When you wake up late (say 7:30), it’s light outside and you don’t have to struggle for the tootsie roll. Otherwise, uneventful.
(Now with more light, go “fall back”) Bug was not impressed with the red heeler we met. Should have been given it was him, but bigger.
Well, it’s lighter outside though the fog is rolling in like some John Carpenter movie. The fog! The fooog! The foooooooooogggggggg!
Bug wanted to hang out with Seamus (King Charles Cavalier Spaniel of Google Girl) but it wasn’t to be. Otherwise, good!
Like yesterday, dark and uneventful. This may be the rinse and repeat for the next four months.
After a week of shit weather (grey) today looks quite promising. Poop score 2 for 2.
[INTERMISSION -- a few days in Hawaii]
All quiet on the Cole Valley front. I however feel like a zombie. Hello jet lag my old friend….
Damp sidewalk and dry sidewalk leads to tiny wet footprints
Keen to see “The Mist” but thinking not such a good idea given how many early morning walks are fog-bound (like today). Stupid fog.
To whomever rained popcorn down in the dog park — “you suck!”
Chieka to Lacey (perceived nemesis, 100+ lbs. Rottweiler) “woof woof woof” = “fuck you…… fuck you….. fuuuuuuuuuuuck you!”
No fog! Prepare for a glorious day. 2 for 2 on the poop.
Pups were far too scroungy this morning. Like it rained chips or treats. Short leashed.
In the world according to Chieka (WATC), newspaper delivery men who sling papers from moving cars are minions of the Dark Lord.
Quiet in Cole Valley. Tryptophan continues to weave a charm around Casa Chawazek.
Bug confused by “instant forest” on cole st and why he’s not allowed to pee there. Brief conversation about Christmas trees ensues.
Bug (art critic extraordinaire) pees on discarded Van Gogh Sunflowers.
Further conversations about the sanctity of xmas trees (and then back to bed — I feel like poop!)
How we greet big dogs: “growl grrrrr growl.” How we greet little dogs: “sniff sniff sniff.” my dogs are sizists.
and you can too!
There’s much celebration at Casa Chawazek tonight with the re-launch of Fray.* I’ve been peeking over the shoulder of the editor** and Busted is looking might fine. If you’re searching for a gift for that someone who has everything, look no further.
* We’ve performed the celebratory “happy dance.”
** Whom I’ve seen naked — or rather, I’m married to Derek Powazek.
