THURSDAY BULLDOG BLOGGING
Grumpy Gus
I'd hate for you to think that I regularly dress up my bulldog, Mildred, to say nothing of doing that all the time (She wouldn't stand for it. Nor sit either.), because that's really not my style, but I thought we were due for sharing another shot and the only thing I can find right now is this photograph of her wearing a pink hat, and I can't even remember the occasion. A birthday, maybe?
I know. Her nose is dry, there's acne on her chin, and all in all, she doesn't look happy.
This is our life. Not that my nose is dry, nor my chin acnefied. Never mind.
[Post-publication addendum (February 2): A reader writes: "I have to say that the pink hat looks pretty good on her, goes well with her skin tone; however, I'm afraid if she won't even smile her modeling career is going nowhere. She does have that Greta Garbo "I want to be left alone" look down though." So I should have subtitled this post, "Grumpy Greta."]
He received the 2002 Koufax Award for Best Post for "Al Gore and the Alpha Girls" (published November 25, 2002).

THE LIFEGUARD
By James Patterson & Andrew Gross
Rating: Not Recommended (Zero Stars)
(Allow me to explain. I received this book in a "Secret Santa" exchange. I thought it was a gag gift, as such were allowed by the rules, with appropriate compensation, but I was assured by the game's judge that it was, in fact, a genuine gift. All the worse, I discovered at home that at least a dozen pages were dog-eared by a previous reader. Next year, I will make a better choice.)
HITTING HARD
By Michelangelo Signorile
Rating: Very Highly Recommended (Four Stars)
[Full disclosure: I am thanked and complimented in Signorile's acknowledgements in this work.]
