Hello everyone!

This week I am planning our upcoming trip to Istanbul for Chinese New Year. Dev and I will be in Turkey from February 1 until February 11. I am so excited about seeing the land described by Xenophon and Herodotus, and the stage for Alexander the Great, the Trojan War, St. Mary and St. John, the Fourth Crusade, the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and much else besides.

In other news, this has been a great career month for me so far. I had my first short story published, I was invited to contribute a monologue to a play (the play is a collection of monologues and vignettes from various authors), and I've been meeting with an interested agent about a possible novel. I'm also launching a new website this month - more soon.

Cromwell was injured yesterday in a fight with Shackleton over an empty yogurt container, and was having difficulty walking all day yesterday with a pronounced limp. He's doing much better now, though, and can put most of his weight on the leg.

Viewers of Shanghai's new International [television] Channel on Friday evening at 7pm saw me with Shackleton and Cromwell! The "Chinese Dog Whisperer," Edmond Kan, came to our house and worked with them both, proving he can, in fact, train any dog. The (edited) results made our dogs look improved indeed. I'll try to get a digital copy to post here.

Happy New Year! and welcome to our new website. Check back often for photos and news from Dev, Summer, their pets, and their families.
