both of those stories are great! I really want to get the book "Dancing on the Pedals: The Found Poetry of Phil Liggett"... it's on my "to read" list...

I have to say... I named my Pug after Magnus Backstedt... LOL... I heard the name Magnus and just thought it would be a great name for a Pug... fortunately I'm sure "Maggie" will never find out some crazy woman named her dog after him...
