    I can't stop grinning

    Folks,
    I don't mean to brag, well maybe I do.
    All in one week I was part of an article in The New York Times AND Had my dogs picture in Cosmopoliton.
    Here is the link for the Times story:
    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...57C0A9609C8B63

    You may have to register but it's free and doesn't generate any spam.

    In the May issue of Cosmo there is an article on skin cancer and how in addition to sniffing out little furry animals, drugs, and bombs, Dogs are being train to sniff out skin cancers before they cause a bigger problem.

    I know karma is going to come around and smack me upside the head but at least I'll get to enjoy it for a bit

      Bob,

      There ya go... your 15? of fame :-)

      btw, after some trial runs, you may also want to add the '1/6th-world famous':
      . Darjeeling tea (regular)
      . Darjeeling tea + cardamum
      1/2 ground cardamum clove per teacup
      . Darjeeling tea + ginger
      one 1/8th (for us wwrkrs ;-) of a ginger slice per teacup

      These teas boiled in 2% or VitD milk (not the non-fat please ;-) with a spoon of azucar, and served with (british) biscuits on a foggy morn - is getting close to the heavens - all will fetch you your karmic-bliss ;!)

        Why not! You should! Everyone deserves a little FAME once in a while. Enjoy.

          No doubt--I'd be bragging too! That's very cool, and I hope the exposure brings you lots of business.
          I really am going to make something one of these days.

            If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

              That is a great article. To bad you aren't in this area of the country. Sounds like a place that would go over well with the college students around here. Enjoy the advertisement and enjoy buying all the papers you can to send to all of your family and friends.

                      The Record had a s,all bit in the Go section (what to do this weekend for the rest of you) back in Feb. The difference between the NYT, even only in the New Jersey section, and The Record is a bit wide Don't you think?

                        Mike,
                        Zepher didn't make the online version. And Guys, if you are going to read the mag, be prepared to get an eyeful. My wife prefers that I look at the pictures and not read the articles.
