Riley Dog is named after Riley, our chocolate lab, who died in late '99, hit by a train in the Rockies. He had never seen a train before.

He was my wife's work companion for nine years (she's a biologist), protecting her from bears and lions. Together, they were also a famous pet therapy team, working with autistic kids and at hospitals.

The logo is from a Riley tribute site that one of the kids made.

Riley Dog is a referenced url in Rebecca Blood's seminal Weblog Handbook. Get it.

Myself, at almost 60 ... I am a semi-retired Family Therapist, currently in the Yukon consulting on administrative design and social services systems.

In other days, I was either a Welder (building bridges, ships and tanker trucks) or a Carpenter (house framing and movie/television set construction).
I have 3 children, and a one grandchild. And a cat, terra, ... no dog.
