PLAY BALL!

Major League Baseball is back and Lou has returned to the on field photo pits for his 12th straight season.

For Opening Day he was in our nation’s capital getting images of his beloved New York Mets versus the hometown Washington Nationals. The Mets took the game 2-0.

Look for Lou at various stadiums around the league this season. He’s hoping to make some locations he’s never shot before including Atlanta, Cleveland, Boston and St. Louis.

The images are used by MLB Network Radio.

See you at the park!

A DECADE OF DARLA

Happy Birthday messages have been pouring in from around the world for Darla the Wonder Dog!

As his constant companion celebrates her tenth birthday, Lou wants to thank everyone for their love and well wishes. Darla celebrated her big day with breakfast, rubs, a Cheerios snack, more rubs, second breakfast, a nap, lunch, a walk, peanut butter treats, more napping, dinner, another walk and then a birthday party including a custom made “pupcake.”

Later in the evening, Darla took control of Lou’s Twitter feed answering questions from fans before retiring for the evening with more snacks and rubs.

Thanks again to everyone for reaching out to Darla and following the hashtag #aDecadeOfDarla.

ROAD ROCKERS!

Brutus loves taking part in musically themed hashtags on Twitter and so was stoked to be invited by @HashtagRoundup to guest host his own game.

It was Tuesday January 22nd that LB joined up with @MusicalHashtags for #RoadRockers. Basically, it was word play puns mixing automotive terminology with your favorite bands and musicians. Not to be outdone by anyone in the bad pun department, LB led the way when the game began with entries like Avenged Manifold, MiniVan Halen, Linkin Parking Garage, Metallicar, and Pontiac! at the Disco. It got even punnier from there.

The hashtag quickly went to the Top 10 on Twitter worldwide. Many thanks to @RobinDWoskin for the invitation to guest host. Hope you’ll have Lou back again soon!
