Hi there! How's your day so far? I took Gorgeous George for a walk last night. Another dog saw us and ran across the street to say hi. It was a little scary because this dog wasn't on a leash and I was afraid he was going to get hit by a car. I introduced the little bugger to George and they sniffed butts until the dog's owner could get across the street and take him back home. I'm so glad to have such a mild-mannered dog. 
Speaking of dogs, I have to say this is absolutely the WORST idea for a dog leash ever!! It's called the Pistol Leash. I suppose some people will think it's funny, but I think it's degrading and violent. Any true dog lover would never use one of these on their dog. Agree?
Have you ever had a close encounter with a celebrity? I met Denny Laine at Beatlefest- was so nice and still sooooo handsome! Most of the time when you hear about a celebrity sighting it's someone saying what a jerk the guy or gal was. Not this time. Here's a compilation of stories from real people like us who had a chance encounter with a celebrity--and the celeb was actually pretty cool. Check out this list of 20 Celebrities Who Are Awesome in Person. Paris Hilton...is nice? Who would have thought?
Good news for retirees: If the federal government shuts down late Friday night, those who collect Social Security will continue to receive their checks (mail will be delivered) or direct deposits to their bank accounts. But what if you've just applied for benefits? Unfortunately, if history repeats itself, they likely won't be processed immediately. Here''s what happened to Social Security the last time politicians pulled this stunt, way back in 1995. 
Some would say that drinking is a fundamental part of a man's life and others agree that just like the Masters, it's a "tradition unlike any other". So it only makes sense to marry the two. It's a match made in heaven if you ask me. Without further adieu, here from the Bro-Bible is their very own 2011 Masters Drinking Game. How does it work? Did a fan just yell "get in the hole!" and/or "You da man!"? If yes, then DRINK! Did Jim Nantz just refer to the Masters as "A Tradition Unlike Any Other"? If so...DRINK! Did Nick Faldo just decide to start living in the past and talk about his playing days and/or Masters' victories? DRINK!! Love it!! Have a super day friends!
