dost thou know where be the schmuzzle?

it's sunday night.  i'm reading a book called little children, by tom perrotta.  (he wrote election)  i've only read a few chapters so far, while i was working out on the ellyptical machine.  so far his take on human interactions is both realistic and cynical.  a very easy and smooth read, it seems each chapter is presented by a different character's perspective, although it stays in 3rd person.

tomorrow i'm going to 3 interviews.  they are all within walking distance of each other.  i'll meet ashok for lunch, too.

pickle is transitioning to city dog pretty well.  he hasn't bitten anyone, of course, and has done minimal barking.  thanks to Dad for working with his barking problem on the leash!  a couple of people still tried to pet him, regardless of his schmuzzle.  (schmuzzle sounds so much cuter than muzzle, don't you agree?)
