“We discovered that it was OK to have a little high-brow as long you have a lot of low-brow. That’s entertainment value. The one thing you want to avoid is the middle brow, because the whole world is frigging middle brow at the moment.” – Jon Langford
For Dog Blog Friday: Up at The Other Place in Anderson Valley there's this pond, and while the old folks (Mooks and Horace) now get driven to it, the other dogs make the hike with the non-taxi-driving humans and if they're Nigel, tear up the hill to the pond. Which makes for a cool series of photos. Labels: greyhounds

George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake.
Well he is a hound of love. But enough with all these bush league jokes....
How wild does a guy have to be to get up there before the greyhound?
Doesn't have to be wild, just needs a car to get there first.
That fourth photo is classic. A fur covered bullet train coming right at you!
A car can beat Nigel? I refuse to believe it.
This is a wonderful post and a terrific site. A blogger Oscar to the owner.
