I’m writing from Estes Park, Colorado, home of the 2008 National Beagle Club Specialty and, on Monday and Tuesday, the Rocky Mountain Beagle Club Specialty. It’s 3:40 am and I can’t sleep so I’m learning how to post from my PDA. The hotel’s business center consists of one public computer in the lobby so it’s [...]
