A few offline projects have been keeping us busy lately (including taking the kids to the AKC dog show in Long Beach, where we saw a xoloitzcuintli!)  Look for some rockin' pictures up later of last night's North Lake Pole bash, and we promise a killer Monday: Michele Zack weighs in with a column you need to read.

(Slightly modified because we knew we wouldn't hit the deadline with the other planned story!)
