My dog is named Swayze

When I am not generating sales leads for the Local540 , I have been writing for the Fayetteville Flyer . I wrote about the baseball Hogs a few times as no one else with the Flyer wanted to, but more importantly, I recently wrote an article concerning the credit card reform that recently passed through congress. As the summer progresses, I will continue to write about developing business news. It will give me a chance to keep up with current events and possibly open up some communication with Flyer readers.

Steph and I have recently decided that we want to take our dog camping. This is kind of a big deal for us since he is kinda crazy. When we originally set out to get a dog, we imagined ourselves as the kind of people that would take our dog camping, and for rides in the car, etc. Unfortunately, it has never worked out that way, but we are working on it. He has been going on more and more car rides with us and he has gotten pretty good about them, he has been staying relatively calm. But camping will be the big one. We are terrified that he will run off or bark all night and keep our friends awake, but we think that with some work we can accomplish our goal. We are looking to take him camping in the fall, so as of late we have been letting him wander around outside in our front yard off the leash. It has gone surprising well. He really doesn't run off very much, but when he does, we call him back with turkey pepperoni in hand waiting for him.

New Grizzly Bear album tomorrow. I have been looking forward to this one for a while. I really got into Yellow House, and feel they are poised for something special with this new one. We will see.
