Does a bear sleep in the woods?

The last hoorah

Okay. So the Warriors lost to Utah and their season is over. Walter will survive as long as he's got baseball, Oprah and I Love Lucy reruns.

No more back seat driving!

Tomorrow morning I take the front seat, grab the control bar and receive my first flight lesson in a trike (a huge hang glider wing with two seats, three wheels and one engine). I've been working with Michael Globensky of Spirits Up (www.spiritsup.com) at Petaluma Airport where I provide ground instruction to aspiring Sport Pilots who want to buzz around in the sky with a motorcycle helmet on. Getting this hands-on experience will help me customize my curriculum and better understand what these students are up to. Up in the air Junior Birdmen!

The gnus of the day

Aaah, nuts!

I went to the San Francisco Zoo over the weekend to do some research for my strip and came upon this little prairie dog searching for some lost parts. Too cute for words. So I'll shut up now.
