A Doggone Break From The Usual


Amid all the seriousness and tragedy that so dominate media coverage, it's necessary refreshment to provide comic relief, silliness, and generally stuff that's off-the-beaten path.

It also helps immeasurably if it benefits a worthy cause.

That's why I'm excited to be the publicist for I Do, Doggone It!, an effort by Downtown Oak Park (www.downtownoakpark.net) to raise money for the Animal Care League in town (www.animalcareleague.org) and, in the process, set a new Guinness World Record for a mass dog wedding.

So circle Saturday, October 4 on your calendar. And if you are anywhere near Chicago, and want to take part in history--albeit a thin, peculiar slice of it--keep tabs on the blog that I've created for the event:
