The Panda Award Goes To . . .

Tonight, amongst other members of the journal, I was honored with this award.
Yes, the award for "Animal Magnetism." I don't even know what that means, but I sure am proud. And the Panda looks pretty cool!

A Panda and a Puppy

As a founding member of the panda buddy system, I find myself getting entertaining emails. Also, as a person who likes dogs, I get pictures of dogs emailed to me on occasion. Apparently one panda went on a trek today with Jim to go get coffee. The panda returned with photos of a little chocolate Labrador. Unfortunately, this panda (me) was sleeping snoring underneath a desk in the library and couldn't immediately celebrate the photographic awesomeness of it all. But after hibernating, I awoke to some photos in my inbox. Enjoy

Panda Day

They call me panda. So amongst certain people, there are running panda jokes and exchanges of youtube panda videos. My friend Laura sent me this one today.
