Re: Pets in the City
This is going to sound so very trite, but I think that having a dog makes me a better person. I certainly learned a thing or two about having to think about something (or someone) else's welfare. And, I met some really great people working at our run in Morningside Park; ours is also completely community driven.

Re: I'm from normal parents (The Pyramid Club Topic)
Hello Ann's Brother, Bill! Just the other day I was sitting in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale and thinking of Ann and of writing a bit about her... Ann's involvement with the Pyramid predated my own, believe it or not. She was the regular host of Bobby Bradley's brainchild-- a Sunday night performance art event called "Cafe Iguana." Gracious, chatty, and personable, Ann's introductions often began in a rambling and disconnected manner, but somehow she managed, during the course of her...

Are you sure, she wrote a book? Unbelievable, I am her fan since more than 10 years and I´ve never heard about that book. I can´t find it anywhere too. I know her daughter, Maria Riva, wrote a book about her mother. I saw Maria Riva in a TV-interview a couple of month ago. But her words did not sound very flattering. She told, Marlene was a great actress, but not a good mother. Which is your favorite movie of Marlene? I love "Morocco", "Dishonored" and "Scarlett Empress" - I can´t...

It does all sound odd. I heard on the BBC that he has also been charged with falsely reporting a robbery. The news said the police responded to a call about a robbery at Boy's apartment and whilst there saw a small amount of cocaine out in the open and found more after searching. The reporter seemed to imply that it was not Boy who called abpout the robbery. All seems very odd.
