the caption sez:

uh...how does sitting on a balance beam while blindfolded train a dog to seek explosives, mines, or drugs, exactly?

in other news, L and i had a delicious dinner at carta de la oaxaca (perhaps the "la" is in error), then cupcakes and blog fun on the wi-fi at the cupcake royale. soon we're going to see "children of men" at the majestic bay theater.

it's a ballard kind of night.

PLANNING: i was planning to have a nice dinner with my friend L, but now i've already done that, and had cupcakes too. next we're going to see "children of men," as i mentioned in the previous entry. tomorrow will be a library day...catching up on journals i've been neglecting to read for the last 2 years or so.
