That is when we have to turn our project in, and we have been working very hard on it.
And Jennifer is nice enough to let us use her place to work. I would offer the use of my home, but it would be hard for some of my team mates to get here. Jennifer's is centrally located so it's easy for everyone. It just works out.
And trust me working hard is exactly what we have been doing. We spend all hours there working. Some of my team mates have fallen asleep with there heads in there papers. But Jennifer, or Jenn as she likes to be called does not mind at all. We put them on the couch and let them sleep.
Last night, Jenn did something I must admit took me by surprise. As I was getting ready to leave, she gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and told me how wonderful I was.
I can only think of three reasons for this. One is that she is getting as tired as we all are. Two she truly does enjoy our friendship. Or three she would like our friendship to become more.
Personally in the mental state we all are, I do not think I will talk to her yet about this. I mean I could be making something out of nothing.
I think when I see her again, I will ask her if she would like to go and get something to eat Friday night. A kind of celebration for surviving this. That will be the time to me to talk to her and get this out in the open. I just hope at the end of this we can remain friends.
On a lighter note, we all agreed to take today off and rest and relax. Give our brains a chance to regroup. So Tanomi, I will be over later to spend some time with you and Miko. I enjoy this time to much and I will not let anything get in the way.

Well there is one more week of the project left, and then we will have to show it to the class. I am really pleased how it is coming out. Many of my team mates have been working on different pieces, and then we get together and but them all together.
I think the one thing that has helped me with this, is my quality for leadership. No one was willing to take charge of this, but I saw that someone needed to. So I decided to do it. I looked at the project as a whole, and broke it down, assigning different pieces to different people. And as I said it is all working out wonderfully.
The other good thing, is that our professor has put the two students that didn't want to help us into there own little group. So either they will get a good grade on there own, or they will fail on there own. The way it should be. I was very happy with his decision.
Jennifer has been so much help as well. She is very smart, with a great sense for science. She told me she wants to be a research scientist, and I believe she will do it. But the help she has given to this project has been wonderful. And I think the two of us are becoming friends.
I think when this is all over, and we have our grade, I will take the group out to celebrate. Because no matter what the grade is, which I believe will be a good one, we should celebrate the work we did. Yes that is a good idea.
Today, I put the project aside, and went over to Gotens to learn how to make Sushi. To be honest with all of you, I really did believe that is was a lot harder to make than it is. But once again, Goten made it easy to learn. He really has a gift for teaching cooking. Goten, perhaps you should consider teaching at some point. I think you would be fantastic.
Tonight I am heading over to Jennifer's to work a little more on our project. I think I will bring over some Sushi to share.

It seems that all of my free time is being taken up with this project. If I am not over at Jennifer, working on it, I am working on it myself.
So I have not had the chance to compliment the Blue team for there victory. It seems that the plane they made were much better than the plans the red team made. But in all battles there must be a winner and a loser. The nice thing about this, is that we are all friends and remain that way.
And now we have gone back to one on one training. To be honest I am happy with this, because it gives me the opportunity to practice even harder. Oh I still practice with my son, but I want to get better. I must admit Vegeta is right. As long as there is something better that faces you, you should take it with everything you have and be the best you can. So that is what I am trying to do.
But as I said this science project is taking up my free time. I find myself over with Jennifer, until my stomach starts to rumble, and I need to get something to eat.
The other day I was over with her working out a few problems we are having, and I realized how hungry I was. I knew that no ordinary restaurant would take care of this hunger, so I decided to go to the buffet. Being the gentleman I am, I asked Jennifer if she would like to come with me. She said she would love to, and off we went.
At first she couldn't believe how much I ate. I explained that my family has an extremely high metabolism rate, and if we don't eat a little bit often we need to eat a lot when we decide to eat.
Our conversation drifted onto our personal lives. I told her I was a great grandfather, which she is having troubles believing. She asked if I was seeing anyone, and I explained not at the moment. I asked her the same question, and she told me she had broken up with her boyfriend about a month ago.
As I said we talked about general things as we ate, then we went back to her place to finish up what we were working on. It was getting rather late, so I wished her a good night and headed home.
At least this project will be over soon, and I can get back to a normal life.

Because of the storm that is beating on us as I write this, the college made a wise choice and closed for the day. It would not have been a problem for Brolli or I to make it, but it would have for everyone else. So I used today for relaxation.
And this morning as all of you who come to morning practice know, we started the next round of snow wars. This time I am on the Red Team. I have some wonderful team mates, some that I worked with last time, and some who were on the other team. And with the new addition to the rules that Piper thought of, I believe that this snow war will be better than the last.
Our opponent this time is the Blue Team. Also a strong group of people have made up that team. But in the end, it will be the Red Team the is victorias. I hate to get into rhymes about this, but I can not help myself. It seems to me that Blue has no clue. But I am sure they will once this is over.
This time unlike the last, I am planning on having a strategy meeting once or twice. That way all members of the team can let there voice be heard in the planning, and I believe it will help us to act more like a team. Something we did not do as much last time. To be honest, the Green Team was nothing but lucky.
Yesterday, I went over and spent some time with Tanomi and Miko. Something I do so enjoy. Even if they are the enemy. *smile*
But I think tonight I am going to curl up near the fire place with a good book. Seems like something to do on a day like this.

But deep down I knew that Toma's plan would not work. Kia is much to strong to fall for something like this. I tried to talk Raditz out of it, both Gokou and I tried, but he was determined to do it.
So off Raditz went, and from what I hear, without success. Oh well tomorrow is another day.
The green team had a plan today that almost worked. I am sure that BJ was one of the people that came up with it. Perhaps Piper and Kia also had there hands in it as well.
I started to see snowballs heading towards Gokou, when I noticed that they had shiny pieces of candy in them. Something to distract our flag protector so that they could take our flag. Well not while I am around.
I leaped into action, and headed to protect the flag as Gokou went for the candy. I saw BJ and Piper heading for our flag and protected it with all of my might. They shall not have our flag this day, only over my dead body.
So it seems that both teams were unsuccessful today. But tomorrow is another day full of possibilities. Who knows which team will win. Only time will tell.
Afterwards I went over to the Capsule Corporation to practice with my son. This is more of a different type of practice, something I need to improve my power rating. And as far as the snowball wars are concerned, Vegeta and I have agreed to disagree on this topic. So we do not discuss it.
But we had a wonderful time practicing our power. Vegeta is a very good person to train with, and I know will his help I will improve.
After we practiced for a bit, I took him out for lunch. I just like spending time with my family.
Speaking of family, Miko should be over here soon for training, so I shall end this and wait for her.

I find that cooking is a lot easier than I imagine. I never knew that something that tasted so good, was so easy to prepare.But as we all know, most of the reason it is easy and fun is Goten. He has a way of taking his love and cooking and giving it to us. I know my group from college is thinking about meeting Friday night, perhaps I will make up some more lasagna to take over to them.
Also yesterday morning I went over to train with my son. He is really wonderful to train with. His determination to improve, and his need to be the best really makes you push to keep up with him. I must admit I have a lot of pushing to do, because he has gone so far ahead of me. But he made me understand, that it is important for me to improve to protect this lifestyle we all hold dear. So I plan on training with him twice a week, more if I can.
Some good news about my study group at college, I spoke to the professor and explained the situation. His opinion to me was to keep track of exactly how much work they do, and he will grade them accordingly. He also explain that he created the group he did, because he felt that the rest of us could handle it. We are such good students with high grade averages, That these two should not bother us.
Now of course I told him I understood that, I just wanted to make sure that they did not get a good grade for nothing. It wasn't fair to the rest of us. At least he agrees with us, so now I can really enjoy this.
As a matter of fact, one of my group members, Jennifer, has asked me if I want to come over to her place Saturday to work on this. She told me that she really wants to work one on one with me so that this goes real well. I of course agreed.
She is a nice young woman, I would put her age in her mid twenties. She is also a very good student. She has such a complex way of looking at things. Unlike me, she can see all sides to everything. Now I try and do that, but I must admit there are times I can not.
So we are meeting at her place Saturday afternoon. I know with the two of us and the others in my group we will have the best project of all. I mean I will not settle for less.

Yes I have been very busy. But as I have said before I wouldn't want it any other way.
Sunday I spent a wonderful day with Tanomi and Miko. I brought over the tape of the snow day I got form Kia. Tanomi was real curious to see it, and we all had a good laugh watching it. I can understand why my son is getting annoyed with this, but even he must agree it is very funny.
I really enjoy the time I spend with Tanomi and Miko. The two of them are so wonderful to be with, and I am so happy that everything is working out for them. The two of them deserve nothing but happiness
Yesterday in school I met with my project team. Most of the members spent the weekend working on it, or at least thinking about it, except for two of them. It is exactly what I expected. Those two have been know to do as little as possible in school, just getting by.
Well I will honestly tell all of you, I am not letting those tow take any credit for our hard work. If we get a good grade, and they did nothing to help achieve it, then why should they. I will talk to the professor and make sure he understands that they did nothing to help. The others seem not to mind if they get credit form this, but I just can not stand that.
Oh well enough about that. Today I have Gotens cooking class to look forward to, We are all going to learn how to make lasagna. I can't wait.
Oh and by the way Brolli, I think a hot tub would be a wonderful idea. We should get one as soon as we can.

Well too be honest a day off is always a good day, but the fact that Kia stopped by to clean just made it better. I truly enjoy it when Kia stops in to clean, and I also appreciate it, because Brolli and I do not have the time. And she does such a good job. I know I have said this before, but Brolli and I are lucky that she wishes to do it for us.
This morning I went over to train for a bit with my son. He made some very good points to me, and now I wish to push myself farther than I have been. The way I see it, I could not ask for a better trainer/partner to work with. Some day I hope to be as strong as he is, but I know it will take work.
I spent the afternoon working on my part for the group project. I hope the other members will take it as seriously. Tomorrow is a day I am looking forward to because I have history.
Yes once again I am lucky to have a professor that enjoys the subject as much as I do. I know at some point my luck is going to change and I will run into a professor that is bored with the subject, but at least for now I will enjoy it as long as I can.
And in a bit, Miko will be over for the afternoon. I enjoy spending time with her, she is so refreshing. I think we will start with training to help her with the energy she has built up today, and then it will be time for her to start her homework.
I also made up some more pizza, so that after training she can have a snack. I hope she enjoys it.
Well it is time to meet her, take care everyone.

Since I have updated. So much is going on. But to be honest, I would not change my life for anything. I enjoy staying busy.
This last weekend was so enjoyable, going over to have a good time with everyone Saturday, and spending time with Tanomi and Miko Sunday. I had such a wonderful time on both days, I wish that neither of them had to stop. I want to thank BJ, Kia, Raditz and family for having me over.
And Today I went over to Gotens cooking class and learned how to make Pizza. Another fantastic idea. And again with the help of Goten, how to make Pizza was easy. Of course with Goten teaching, I believe anything would be easy. And the Pizza I made is very good, I am having a piece as I write this. Thank you again Goten.
Yesterday in science class, the Professor broke up the class into groups to work on projects. I must say the students that he has teamed me up with are rather interesting.
In our team, we have what us called a jock, a rocker, myself, and two average students. I must admit Science is not my best subject, but I at least expect myself to get a good grade.
Well it took my team a bit to decide on what project we would do for the class, with everyone having an idea. But I think we have an idea that if we pull it off it should get us a good grade.
We are planning on meeting several times during the course of this to work on the project. I am wondering how often certain people in my group will show up, but in truth it does not matter to me. I will do whatever it takes to get the grade I wish, even if I have to take up the slack.

Frozen white particles falling from the sky. Making the world look white and beautiful. That is until you need to get somewhere.
Well it seems because of the snow fall there were no classes today. Not that I mind, I rather enjoy another day of peace and quiet. It allows me time to sit back and enjoy the books I found on our adventure.
I did take one quick trip into the city, I wanted to pick up a couple of things. It was weird seeing the city not being so busy. I mean there were children running around in the residential sections, but for the most part it seems that everything else had stopped.
I was lucky enough to find the store open, but it seems that they were getting ready to close so that the employees could get home. So I quickly got the things I needed. The girl that rang me out was happy to see that I was so quick. I smiled at her, and wished her safe travel back home.
When I got back to the house, I must admit I was frozen. So I decided to take a long hot bath. It was so relaxing, that even Thor came in and joined me by laying down next to the tub. He is such a good puppy.
Of course Thor isn't to sure about snow. When he saw it from the warmth of the house he watched and barked like it was there for his amusement. But as soon as I let him out, he did not like it all, he looked at me as if too say I tricked him, and this was no fun at all. Then something clicked in his mind, and he started to run around disappearing in the snow from time to time. I guess even Thor can find the enjoyment in such things.
Tomorrow it seems that many of you are getting together to have a snow day. Well it does sound like a lot of fun, so count me in. I hope I can get into a good snowball fight.
Well my tea is ready, so I guess I'll sit back by the fire and do some more reading. Until tomorrow.

Until, I returned home. Yes I have been busy, catching up on class and such. But it is a busy I enjoy.
It was so good to return home, and see everyone that did not go with us. And to me the returning home, ended the adventure in my mind. That told me that it was truly over, which I am also grateful for.
It was nice to see that Thor remembered both Brolli and I. He seemed so happy to seer the two of us. And now that we are back home and back to our normal schedule, he is also falling right back into place.
As I said, I have been doing make-up for my classes. I got with some of my classmates to get notes on the classes I missed, and talked to my professors about what reading I missed. Of course in truth, I did not miss that much, because I was ahead of everyone since the beginning.
Yesterday was Gotens first cooking class since our return. And it was a wonderful class indeed. I never knew that fried chicken was so easy to make. I mean Brolli and I will have to buy a personal fryer that makes the job so much more easy. And as I sat in the class with Goten, I realized why I find this so enjoyable. There are two reasons. One is that this is something I whish to learn, because it will make it easier for Brolli and I to feed ourselves, not having to count on take out. The other reason is Goten. His enthusiasm for cooking, or shall I say creating with food is something that can not be measured. It is completely of any known chart in the universe.
When he starts the classes, his smile and his wanting to help all of us to be able to cook comes through. And he is so patient with all of us. No question is unimportant to him. Yes I am so very happy that I moved my class days around so I can come to these. Thank you Goten, you make cooking more fun than it was before.
Well I guess I should finish up my homework, that way I can have tomorrow to relax. Anyone up for a game of chess?

That is what I found to be true as I walked around yesterday, this place is interesting.
It seems that most of the things here are alive. Even the buildings are. I think the thing I find interesting, is the fact in how quickly we can adjust to this. The bed I have been sleeping in didn't bother me at all. In fact is was so comfortable.
Well yesterday armed with money, I decided to go out and walk around. And if I found anything interesting, I would pick it up.
First on the agenda was food. Which is very easy to find. There are a lot of vendors with a variety of things to eat. Next after filling myself, I decided that perhaps I would look into some cloths. With my armor on I stick out like a sore thumb.
I decided that since I enjoyed the bed so much, I would try some of the living cloths. Now the one thing I learned very quickly is to not buy from the first vendor I saw, because there would be others with a variety of prices. So I walked the streets, until I found a vendor I liked who was willing to explain how they worked.
The way they work seems simple enough, put them on and think about what you would like to wear, and you are. He demonstrate this for me by changing what he was wearing. So I bought them, and went back to my room to try them on.
It took a little time to get the creature to understand what I wanted, but once I did I had a suit on that had to be the most comfortable suit I have ever had. It fit me perfectly, and it was so comfortable that it even kept me warm. But I must admit, I am not ready to try the footwear.
So now that I was feeling more comfortable with my surroundings, I walked most of the day. Looking at different carts and shops, and eating when I got hungry. I must admit I did not purchase much more, I just found looking at all of the things you could purchase interesting.
Well Today we should be heading back. I will glad to be back home, I miss Thor very much.

Finally. about high noon, Froster's ship landed. We hid ourselves, to see what will happen. When the door finally opened, we were all very quiet.
Frosters guards came out first. I believe this was procedure to them, because they did a base sweep of the area, before letting it be known that all was clear. Of course there sweep was not that good, because they did not find us.
Then out of the ship came Froster. Along with him was Zarajon. I have to admit, when I first saw Froster, I took a deep breath. He looks so much like his father. Once he was out, and we knew what we were facing, the war started.
At first we had to take on the guards. Froster watched as we fought with them. They were very strong, but still our might overpowered them, and the last one fell. Then it was Frosters turn.
We did something that Saiyans are not known for, we attacked him as a group. The way I saw it, was that he was as powerful if not more powerful than his father, so it was better to attack him in mass. We stood a better chance that way.
Well the fight, lasted awhile, neither side getting the upper hand. Words were exchanged, and during the battle Tanomi took some extra damage. I guess Froster knew he was the one that killed Freeza. Finally Froster realized he could not defeat our combined might, and he attempted to flee.
He ran for his ship, shut the door, and began taking off. We had only one chance. We all combined our energy blast, to create one mighty blast that we aimed at the ship. Once the blast hit the ship it blew apart in a spectacle of fire and explosion. Small pieces of the ship that were red hot rained down from the sky, and each of us had to move so we would not get hit.
Then of course we had the clean up. The destruction of the ship caused a few small fires that if left unchecked could create problems for the people of this planet. So we began taking care of these, and doing what else was necessary to clean the area.
By the end of the battle we were all tired. So we decided to head to the city over the mountains, since it seems that we can not use instant transmission. We will need to find another way back home. But back home is our destination.

Yes this is what happened today, finally war was upon us. And as we docked our ship, it was very evident that our prisoner sold us out.
We saw troops with weapons ready to attack, but they had to wait until we were decontaminated. Of course so did we, but we all decided not to let them attack first, and as we waited we kept hitting the button to the door so that we could get it open as soon as possible. Well we did and took out the waiting army without much effort. Froster must have thought that we were weak humans, and that we would be nothing but a very small problem. How wrong he is.
Both teams went into the armory and grabbed the weapons that were there. Conservation of our energy is very important, we need to save it for bigger and better things. Then Bardock and I took our team and headed out.
We hit the training area first, and surprised the ones that were in there. Not much of a fight, but it did make me realize how valuable these guns and rifles were. They are very accurate, and they do have a lot of power for something so lite. Then next we went over to the Dorms.
Only a couple of grunts in there, easy to dispose of. I suggested once the area was clear that we look around and see if there is anything of value that would help us. What I found had value, but not much help.
I found four books. Two were of races that are no more, thanks to the Saiyan race, and two were books of the history and culture of the Saiyan people. I have not seen these books in many years. As a matter of fact I know the authors personally. And even though they would not help with the war, I decided to take them any ways. The books about the Saiyan race belong with us and not this tyrant. Other people found other things that were great help to them.
Then we hit the Medical area, which we found to be more of a fight. It seems that Froster decided to save the best for last, perhaps to test our worth and not waist time. Once we secured the medical area we spread out to look for items of importance. We found these wand looking items that I must admit had me baffled. It was Piper that explain to use there use. It seems that if you wave them over cuts of scratches, they form a bond to help the healing process. Of course they are not good for deep cuts or gashes, but valuable none the less. So we took al that we found, and used them on the few little scratches we got so far.
Next was Laboratory A. And again our opponents were stronger, but still not a challenge for such a strong group. I must say I am very proud to lead these people, all of them warriors at heart with skill to match. What we found in the Lab was prove of what Tanomi told me. Yes Froster was doing genetic experiments, to make strong soldiers. I must admit, I was not surprised.
We continued fighting our way to the Bridge. Once we got there and blew the door apart we saw that the other group had faired as well if not better than us. Even my son had gotten stronger in this conflict, I am so proud.
The lights on the bridge were dim, with a flashing red light going off. And all we heard was the computer in a very soothing voice doing a count down. Oh no, Froster had set the ship on a self destruction course. Quickly we all stopped and sensed Frosters Ki, which was getting farther and farther from the ship. Vezealy reached out to his mind and found out where he was heading. We all joined hands, and Gokou, Vezelay and The Supreme Kai transported us to the planet, exactly where Froster will be landing.
Now we sit and wait for him. We all know that this will not be over until he is dead and we end his evil forever.
While we were waiting, I made my way over to Goten. When I got there, I smiled at him and said;"See Goten I am fine."
He smiled at me and replied;"I knew you would be"
Then I put my hand on his shoulder, smiled and said;"And I am glad you are too. Your a good man Goten, and I am very proud of you."
He looked at me and smiled. He is such a good man, but war is not in his heart as it is in ours. He was not raised that way. But when push comes to shove, I know he will always be there to defend the earth he loves.

But I can not. This always happen to me whenever I am preparing for battle. My mind goes over every possibility, over and over again. I think about what might happen to all of us.
Also I am going over the plan on my head, and thinking about what I can do in each situation if something goes wrong. I believe you have to be prepared for anything.
So I stay in bed, listening to the soothing sounds of a rain fall, and think.
But trust me, I will be ready when the war starts. As I said I do this every time I am planning on going into war. Most of the time on our home world, I was not the one going, so this did not happen often to me.
I think I will go and practice for a bit and see if that helps me to rest. Or I can go to the bridge and see who is on duty at this time. I am sure by this point they are bored, and would like some conversation.
I will see you all in the morning, sleep well.

Yes that is what we did today, let everyone know what the plans of attack were, and what they could expect.
Bardock and I talked with our team, and let them know how we would all proceed. We discussed the plan of attack, and made sure that everyone understood what will be happening. Of course we can not be sure of everything, but we let everyone know what we knew.
Tanomi and Vezelay did the same thing with there team. It seems to me that everyone understands, and is ready for battle. I personally am looking forward to tomorrow.
Then this evening we got our first communication from Froster. Many of us were there when Zarajon was brought in by Vezelay and Tanomi.
We sat and listened to the communication. As it started we all realized that Zarajon forgot to mention the fact that he should have communicated with the ship. At least it seems that Froster was not to upset. Which was good.
The only thing I noticed was that fact that Zarajon seemed upset with the communication.
This is the first time he has shown any real emotion since this started. I guess that Froster can do this to him. Perhaps he tries to please Froster, and always falls short in Frosters eyes. Poor boy.

I must say I had to agree with Vezelay, on the fact that we needed a plan. Froster has already proven he is smarter than his father, so we need to attack smarter as well.
Today I met with the generals of this group, Tanomi, Vezelay, Bardock and myself. The four of us got together today and came up with an idea that will have the best chance of success.
Two teams will be formed. Tanomi has already given all of you the breakdown of the teams. Each having plusses in many ways. I personally am very happy to be working with Bardock again. The two of us work so well together.
Tomorrow all of you will be given the details of our plan. From what I am hearing, it will not be easy, but nothing that is worth it is.
Also I have been given my duties on the ship. I am helping on the weapons console. I am happy that Vezelay could help me understand how it works, because to be honest I have never seen anything like it before. But once Vezelay explained it to me, it all made perfect sense. I just hope we will not have a need for it.
Food on board is anything but good. But at least we will not starve, we just have to get use to things a little different than what we are use to. Kia has been working with the machine so that it will makes things that we like. And it seems to be helping.
Our rooms aboard are not much to look at until you lay down. Then the bed conforms to your body for the ultimate comfort, and you are surrounded by walls that block out the world around you. The good thing about this, is that if Bonk is snoring you will not hear it. And you can pick from many soothing sounds to help you rest.
Later I am going to check out this gym that my son found. A little work out will be a good idea before the main event.
Well I think I will get some rest. I have a lot to think about.

I would never have thought once I left Hell that I would ever hear that name again.
Freeza..........
It was bad enough that he enslaved our race, and in the end because of his own fear he destroyed us, but now his offspring has come to cause us trouble.
Tanomi told all of us about Frezza's son Froster. He seems different than his father, using his intelligence at times rather than always counting on brute force. I must hand it to him, he has a ingenious plan. Yes there is a time element, but as Tanomi put it, to one that can live as long as he can, what does he care.
And now we gather to get ready to face him. Yes we are going to war. Tanomi in his own time, had an advantage over us, the element of surprise. But when we all exit the ship to head to Froster, that element will be gone. So we will fight. Something we Saiyans are very good at.
Tanoimi also warned us that Froster and his men are much more powerful than Freeza and his men were. And I must admit, I certainly did not fair well against Freeza before, so there is a part of me that wonders how I will do now.
But this time we have advantages. Both BJ and Gokou are the ultimate Saiyans, and Tanomi knows more about the ship and its layout. I hope that in the two days it will take to get to the main ship, Tanomi and I can get together and perhaps work out a plan of attack. Anything that can give all of us an advantage is something we should strive to do.
Vezelay is going to teach all of us the differences on how the ship works, so that we seem to be on the up and up as we head to the main ship. I wonder what post I will be put at.
But I do swear one thing, I will not be defeated this time as easy as I was before. This time I will succeed, even if I must die in the process. It is worth it to me. Anything to save the universe from this evil.

Brolli and I have a new addition to the house. Yes we got ourselves a puppy. But not just an ordinary puppy mind you, he seems very intelligent.
Yes when we first saw him, with all the other puppies his intellect came through loud and clear. The feeling I got from him was that he would be happy to go with us, but he wasn't going to degrade himself to beg for the chance.
Of course this caught my attention almost immediately. A puppy who was proud of himself enough not to beg for our attention, is something grand indeed.
And when we sat in the area with just puppy and he decided to take a nap between us, I knew he was the one. I was so happy that Brolli thought the same thing.
But now I find myself thinking of names for him. The way I see it, is that we can not call him puppy forever, and we should come up with a name as soon as possible.
So I sat and thought about this. I thought about what type of puppy he was. Then my mind wandered. Who would be his main playmate besides us. Of course it will be Loki. Now the name Loki was the name of a god the was worship many years ago on this planet. So I decided to go onto the Internet and really check into this.
There were many gods in the Norse religion that were worshiped. For many different reasons. I took some time to study this and now I think I might have come up with a name for puppy.
The name I am thinking about is Thor. The Norse god of Thunder and strength. And it is said that Loki and Thor were friends. Now I am not saying that I think puppy will be the mightiest puppy in the world, but there is something very special about him, and something that special deserves a special name.
When I talked to Brolli about my idea for the name, he smiled and agreed. Saying that the name fits a puppy so wonderful.
So from this point he will be know as puppy no more, may I introduce you all to Thor.

Yes I am talking about Tanomi. I mean on the surface he is his own man, but what I am talking about is deep down.
I had a wonderful time with him and Miko, Sunday. Even though he did not have as much sleep as I did. Saturday was wonderful as well. I might not have helped in the actual setting the house up as much as I wanted to, but I did have a wonderful time keeping the children and Gokou entertained. It does wonders for my ego.
After everyone had left, and we got Miko to bed, Tanomi and I sat down to play a game of chess.
I have said this before and I will say it again, you can tell a lot about a person by the way the play chess. That is why I say he reminds me of me. We both look at all options, and take everything about the game into consideration, before we make our move. Yes this means a game can go on for a long time, and some might find it a tad boring, but for us the thrill is in the move it self.
We started our game with plenty of time to finish if either of us were a quick mover, but when we finally looked at the time, it was very late. We both agreed to meet later in the day and finish what we started.
But when I arrived it was very apparent that poor Tanomi was not up to finish. And I would not want to take advantage of him either. So we decided to finish next Sunday. I made notes of piece placement so we could but the board away until then. But to be honest, I believe it will end in a draw. Neither of us being able to claim victory. And that very thought excites me to no end.
