In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

 Dog Linkage

Michael Blowhard writes:

Dear Blowhards --

* The Rawness shares a hilarious quick dog video.

* Thinking of adopting a retired racing Greyhound? Here's an informative, 19-part guide. I wonder what Gil Roth -- who recently adopted a retired racer -- thinks of the advice.

* Patrick Burns writes that dog owners don't need to haul their pets to the vet as often as they're being told to.

Best,

Michael

Alston Chase's new book, We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear, may well be the most beautiful and richest book about dogs ever penned.
