Happy Spring

It’s springtime in Champaign and time for my quarterly blog update. So much worth reporting, so little of it blog-appropriate. Instead, here are some tulips in our front yard:

Aerogeek has fallen into disrepair, and I blame it on to relative convenience of Facebook’s single-line status reporting system (now with 25% more verbs!). Or is this to blame? In any case, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and hopefully Rachel and I will get to see everybody during our biannual Maryland homecoming next week. We’ll be back on Dec. 21st, returning to the flatlands on the 27th; give us a call!

According to Google, the world contains two Glen Dimocks. I am one of them; points to the first person to correctly profile the other.
This years Pride Dog Show, in association with Coastway Veterinary Group and Denes Natural Pet Care will take place on Sunday 8th July from 1.00pm at Hove Rugby Club, Old Shoreham Road, Hove. The pedigree classes will be judged by Glen Dimock. Glen grew up in Australia where his parents bred Basenjis, but he has lived in England for the last fifteen years. He has judged all over the world and will be judging at Crufts next year. He works for The Kennel Club too, where he runs the accredited breeders scheme.
I bet Aussie Glen Dimock looks just like you!
Check out the picture: http://www.pinkuk.com/events/brightonpride/dogpride.asp. Can you guess which one is the Glen? My guess is that this Glen wouldn’t marry a Rachel, though.
maybe he is married to a Rachel, just less attractive.
A man named Jim Killeen also googled himself one day, then made it his mission to meet as many of these other Jims as possible. He made a movie out of it called “Google Me”. If only you’d thought of this earlier!
Rachel, the dogs and I just returned from a road trip to Alabama and New Orleans. In theory, details will be posted shortly. In practice, here are a few random, unrepresentative photos from the Louisiana portion of the trip. Photos from the family reunion will be available separately.

Alligator on a bayou tour. I was more captivated by the guide’s Caj-on accent.

I’ve been saying this for years. Now if only Champaign would build a yuppie grocery store…
oh, yes, me too! I always try to make one line at crowded stores and people get all stupid and say things like, there are three registers, please form three lines. BAH!
also, I LOVE the Columbus Circle Whole Foods!!
