For me, the list ranges from tacos, to saving the world, so I prefer not to list it all.

Maybe, "progress".
 
Truth.

Well, yes, and apologizing to Tsu for whatever I did wrong this time that I'll never understand. :biggrin:

I don't have a lofty set of goals, but if Duke is unhappy, I want to address that. Walks, sniffing, exploring, and exercise followed by a couple of little treats when we get home are usually enough to make him happy. That makes me happy. It's hard to summarize that in keywords.

Due to some unfortunate circumstances my life's ambition now is 'avoiding confusion.' Life's little tricks.

I've noticed you mentioning this Tsu in other posts. Is this some sort of mythological Chinese figure? Or what? And, most importantly, is that a silent T?

Tsu is my wife and used to participate here. She was one of the original PF Sisters. :biggrin:

Her name was originally Tsunami. But then the tsunami in Indonesia hit in 2004 and she decided to change it to Tsu. I still tend to reference her casually as she was well known around here for a time.
