blast from past ... shylock revisited

i LOVE pigdog (as evidenced in this post over here).

HOWEVER, second to pigdog ... is kelly - the jack russell sleeping here with the punching nun. (kelly, you ho bag ... in a precious way, though. right?!)
(SIDE NOTE: just as i have done so with pigdog - kelly has been proudly posted on my fridges of days gone by AND currently resides on my current fridge.)

why bring this up now? ... because a blast from the past, kelly's "mom" - who nicknamed me shylock (and i don't remember why) - stalked and found me on linkedin. (it's been nearly 15 years, i'm guessing, since we last hung out after she left SD.) needless to say (perhaps), i stalked her on fbook and found her.

presuming the world isn't THAT small ... i'm fairly certain the 7-8 folks who actually follow this blog will not recognize the other 2 gals in this photo below (... taken some time in '93 or '94 - oh my!). i barely recognize myself!!!
BUT - - - if you do recognize the other two gals ... certainly let me know because then the world TRULY IS SMALL. well, that and i'll (we'll) have to figure out what exaction i (we) may want to pursue if either of these chicas are intending to pursue a political career of sorts. just sayin' ...

thanks rainbow-glasses-shylock-naming old friend for stalking me!
you have certainly made my week.

looking forward to further "catch-up" talks & e-mails!

repost: pigdog's dad e-mailed me ...

[original post here]

(... in other words, i got an e-mail from the photographer chip simons)

(... uh, that would be mr. c who captured pigdog many years ago!)

quite awesome!

so just thought i'd share some pics i received from him today.

and yes ... a pineapple and peaches.

perhaps i may consider furniture layout in my new place

(uh... sans the taters, or maybe with?)

[go on ahead and visit him]

today is a l'il like yesterday ...

... yes -like yesterday

so i've decided to visit pigdog
here and here,
and
i couldn't resist visiting pigdog's friends!

r|yap follow-up

just visit here
and "thumbs up" (or "down" if you prefer) the blog
because ...

... pigdog appreciates your thumb(s)!

today is unofficially pigdog day

celebrate PIGDOG with me!!!

what's so special about today? ... on VERY (VERY!!!) RARE OCCASIONS does a stranger visit any of my blogs. i usually have to force sneak send my posts to my friends in the form of an enticing, engaging, provocative, and threatening loving e-mail. i get about a 10% response (which is as good as surveys). i do this so that maybe - JUST MAYBE during my breaks at work when i might be checking for blog comments - i get to read some witty remark and engage in some banter and yip/yap.

for today - 2 things happened sort of pigdog related: (1) a friend voluntarily crept around my blog (after i sent one of my loving e-mails) and came across pigdog, and (2) a stranger posted a comment on the pigdog post. (mind you, i've not thought about pigdog for quite a while.)

event (1) ... a friend writes me the following note with this attachment of two pics from the bunny collection of the photography of chip simons.

I LOVE these photos!!! I listened to that stream of consciousness thing (which I loved as well), which led me to page through your blog a bit. Finally got to the pigdog story, and was curious enough to look at the photographer's website and found the BUNNY PICTURES! Are they not fantastic? Gorgeous, floaty-romantic, surreal, irreverent, ridiculous, ... They make me laugh and sigh at the same time. I MUST have them!

[visit chip. these are his pics]

short version of this story - she sent chip a note about loving the bunny pics, and he wrote her back - TODAY. meanwhile, apparently about the same time, i sent chip a note about my friend, while not knowing that my friend sent her note. of course, chip wrote me back. (yes! we heart chip. we don't heart him enough to stalk him, ... well? no. no. we just heart him. we aren't stalking him.)

event (2) ... i decided to visit pigdog and relive the moments back then. then back to work for a short spell. took a break. checked my personal e-mail. and saw a comment from doggybloggy. and this makes me happy that someone else can have a pigdog moment.

so ... at least in this small corner of the world,
06/14 ... it's unofficially pigdog day!
(maybe go and visit chip's site, eh? or post a comment)
