Update
Greetings from Michigan! Roland and I arrived yesterday at Jason's place in Kalamazoo. We started out on Friday taking a couple days in Orlando for a flyball tournament. Then we continued our trek on Sunday evening, finally arriving yesterday afternoon. It was a nice drive and we had a good time (although I think the puppy could do without two days of enforced confinement).
Bleys did very well at the tournament getting a shiney new title to add to his collection. He now has his FDCh (Flyball Dog Champion), which is awesome. Again it was thanks to everyone on the team who makes allowances for his speed that he gets any points at all. He did end up catching a couple balls outright which was great, and a little surprising. His time when he doesn't catch the ball is around 9 seconds, but when he caught it, he ran the course in 7.6 seconds! Go speed puppy, go! I think most everyone had a good time and we certainly did a lot of laughing.
We are staying here in K-Zoo until Friday when we will be driving up to Hastings. Why Hastings? We are going to try out a U-Fli flyball tournament. We are going to run singles (Bleys just running by himself - no team) on Friday night and I found a pick-up team for Saturday. There is also a qualifying event going on on Saturday which means we'll get to seem to smokin' fast teams. Hopefully it will be fun!

I'd like to comment wisely on you post's depth and beauty of writing, but I'm afraid I can't get past the word Kalamazoo.
I honestly believed the place existed only in myth and legend, and the five-year-old part of my brain is currently saying "Where there unicorns? Did houses fly? Zebras talk? Can I go there and get superpowers??"
Oh yes, there really is a Kalamazoo!
And to answer your questions, there weren't any unicorns and the houses and zebras are disappointingly mundane. As for superpowers, I never had any luck, but I say, never give up hope!
wow, 7.6! what bleys-ing speed.
i've never been to michigan, but if there's a chance for superpowers, i might have to go.
Bleys-ing? Badumpum-Ching! I don't know about any superpowers either, but like the song says, I got a girl in Kalamazoo.
