Hey, if you get really bored or energetic, I like cake. Email me for my address ;-)

Well, you're smarter than me on the dog thing.

My dog Nikki killed a skunk underneath our garden shed and got sprayed REAL good in the process. I din't have any tomato juice but I did have lots of tinned stewed tomatoes. Put them in the blender ... same deal, right. Who wants to go shopping at 2AM?

Well, it kinda worked on the skunk smell but we were combing tomato seeds out of that dog's hair for the next three months!

Sounds like you're doing pretty well on the taper so far :)

Please don't let my cake smell like skunky dog covered in tomato paste.

Awww. I'm going to tell PETA on you. A tomato-pasted dog. Not cool!

That photo is hysterical.
Every time I passed a dead skunk today it made me think of you and your drive to Wisconsin. After that drive, IM should be cake....Well, maybe pie is more appropriate based on your cake ordeal.

Thank you so much again for the ride this mornin'. You are so good to me.

Have fun in Dairyland.

I hear tomato paste is good for getting rid of that pee smell too. You might need some after the bike on your Ironman :-)
