It would be fun if this were an April Fool's Day column. It may be even more fun, based on the fact that it isn't.

Thus I learned about Pic de Bugarach. Located in southwestern France, not far from the...

It's not easy being a fool. Then again it hasn't been easy turning 26 today either. OK, maybe I better ask for forgiveness and just admit there's a fine line between April Fools prankster and liar. I'm not particularly good at either. As the resident April Fool I've more often been the butt of jokes on April 1 than the one doing the hee-hawing.

It's a beautiful day so you decide to spend time with the pooch. He eagerly bounds into the car, settles in the seat beside you, and off you go — windows down, radio cranked. Bouncing down the road, head keeping time to your favorite tune, you have a broad smile on your face. It's perfect. Your pooch — not so much. Welcome to Doggy Gitmo, Noriega Nightmare, Psy Ops Central. Turns out, your dog ain't a fan of your beats and the only mood those sultry tunes are likely to put...
