I’ve got an idea for Sasha: make her carry around a broom in a sweeping motion, for all you know, it might actually help :)
About Moose and Bear
The Bear:
Nate maintains a lifelong passion for writing, which is very surprising because one might think he would have become better at it if he likes it that much. He also enjoys reading, travel, history, art, sports, jokes with the word “monkey” in them, James Bond movies, smothered burritos, spending time with his family, computer games, camping, fishing, nachos, Yellowstone National Park, people watching, and Disneyland. He drives a 2004 Chevy Aveo that hasn’t had the oil changed in over a year.
UPDATE: Nate got the oil changed in his car at the start of March 2007, so it should be good for 3 months, 3,000 miles, or until 2009.
Nate is rapidly approaching a decade of marriage to his beautiful wife Amy. They live in Kearns, Utah with their dog Sasha, the Swedish Vallhund. His future ambitions include paying off some bills, hanging the blinds in the second bedroom, and watching the Super Bowl for the game, not the commercials.
The Moose:
Amy is an artistically gifted, hard-working person who likes to bite off more than she can chew, and then go ahead and prove she can chew it anyway. That is a somewhat unflattering way of saying that she is capable of anything and everything she puts her mind to, but the sentiment is true and if she doesn’t like it, she can write her own bio. (Note: she is going to write her own bio.)
She also likes vacations, craft projects, daisies, watching movies, alphabetizing, Hawaii, threatening to quit the Young Women’s program, reality television, brownie mixes that come with a packet of real chocolate syrup, Zion National Park, sports, playing card games, using treats to bribe Sasha to sit on her lap, Disney Theme Parks, and making fun of her husband for having a rather womanly emotional threshold and crying all the time.
Amy is looking forward to several travel opportunities planned for the upcoming year, including her tenth anniversary trip to Southern California (Nate will be invited as soon as he stops writing teasing comments about her). In the future she hopes to straighten up the basement, finally teach Sasha a new trick, and hang up her wall of family pictures.

We would happily try your suggestion, but Sasha is afraid of brooms. She is also afraid of soccer balls, flags, plastic bottles, crumpled paper and bubbles (among many other things). Seriously. We have no idea why.

Nate, as always, I stand in awe of your writing abilities, and if it’s true that your writing has never improved, then you sure started off at an extremely high level!
By the way, how do I get a picture of me (or a chosen avatar) to come up when posting, like you guys and Kerim?!

Thank you very much, and you are far, far too kind!
I am not completely certain how to upload an avatar, although my best guess is that you need to have a WordPress login. I don’t think you are required to blog with them, just be logged in. Both of which are totally free, by the way.
I will forward the question to Kerim, though, who knows a lot more about this stuff than me.
