Amazingly cruel. I feel sorry for the good folks of North Carolina who must be so offended by this store owner’s actions.

I’m trying to figure out why I stay with Netflix. Must be my inherent altruism. It certainly isn’t to see movies. Now on DAY 5 with no movies on the way. No matter what I want to see, it is never in. So, I’m playing a game to see how many days it takes to [...]

Golden Retriever Sollie — $20,000 Diamond Thief?
Posted in Fun Videos, Golden Retriever Videos on March 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Poor Golden Retriever Rescue Sollie was in the doghouse for a few days. You see, he daily accompanies dad, George Kaufmann, to his store, Robert Bernard Jewelers in Rockville, MD. When a diamond dealer visited and took out a 3-carat stone, it fell on the floor next to Sollie, who did what all good retrievers [...]

Canine Ergonomics: The need for a SCIENCE of Working Dogs
Posted in Canine Contemplation, Canine Need to Know, tagged assistance dogs, dog training, working dogs on March 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I have long been fascinated by the important roles that our canines play in their collaboration with humans. My own personal hero in this area is Dr. Bonnie Bergin, the incredible woman who in 1975 originated the concept of the “service dog.” Seeing waiting lists for service dogs extending to 10 years, and low percentage [...]

I don’t think anyone out there creates bits as well as Jimmy Kimmel does. His running gag with Matt Damon is classic, and the videos with Sarah and Ben went viral as well. What a fitting piece to follow the *glamor* of the Oscars.

I have been a devotee of Saturday Night Live for two many years to mention (for fear that folks could figure out I am actually older than dirt). Sadly, it will probably never approach the hilarity of the earlier years with The Coneheads and the work of Gilda Radner. I simply hate the new bits [...]
