I'm a real sucker for a beautiful face. I just can't resist that "special" look that goes directly to the heart and melts any resolve that has been summoned. You know what I'm talking about: the quick, flirtatious glance by a special someone, or the face of the movie star that, even on a really bad hair day, looks better than anyone you know.

Such was the case when my "special someone" looked deep into my eyes. I was immediately mesmerized by his face and promptly decided that we needed to be "close" this weekend. So, contrary to an earlier statement, Cooper WILL be joining us for MAMA VI.

However, his sheer mass dictates that we take things a little on the easy side while driving. We have had more than one occasion when he has been launched across the cockpit of the MINI, and I do not want to be object that stops his trajectory.

Rick and Laurie: put us with the "Old Farts with Large Dog" group for the event.

Theo & Carol (AND Cooper)

OH, more dogs? I really must try to get to one of these while there's time. Ted has Cushing's Disease and we're thinking we're on borrowed time already. However, with medication, the Cushing's symptoms are (as of now) pretty minimal. We know that won't last forever.

Here's a picture of 'Ted'. For being a small dog, she's a huge MINI fan (yes, Ted's a she), even though we're relatively new to this world. Reading the last post, Ted thinks Cooper must have "a face carved by the angels". She's hoping for pictures of Cooper in the MINI and all the other canine attendees in their MINIs as well. I told Ted, you wish in one hand...but know how dogs are..

Have a great ride!

Maybe we should consider a combination of the next Ikea run and a Big Dig Run Redux...

Probably better to do the drive before loading up the back of the Mini...

Theo's 3rd Law of IKEA Transmogrification: with an abject disregard for fiscal prudence, a 1/2 ounce of plastic can always become a boot full of furniture.

Theo's 2nd Law of IKEA Transmogrification: The extent of transmogrification is directly related to volume of the boot.

Theo's 1st Law of IKEA Transmogrification: Those who own roof racks will die in poverty, but will be comfortably seated when it happens.

Getting a ride to this was a good idea...but I'm gonna go (not in the ****-box mini) to Tampa for the games this weekend.

After all that (and because I'm so straight out I can't see what's right in front of me), I'll not be joining the ride. Much prefer your company, but too much to do in the two days before a week and a half trip to Seattle, Dallas and Chicago . . .

Enjoy!

Well my name is Kim and I'm a guy so both Ted's are in good company (at least if you ask me).

I left Missoula in January of 1990. It changed so much in the years after that I hardly recognized it anymore. 'Course, that's what the old-timers told me in the '80s too, but anyway, I almost can't believe there's not a MINI dealer right there. Seems like it could be a good market (if what I hear about their snow prowess is true). Maybe not the students, but it seems like lots of those other folks would probably snatch 'em up.

Cooper's a great looking dog, even though it looks like he had a little too much fun at the party (dogs aren't supposed to wear lampshades). Ted wishes you all a safe voyage tomorrow!
