Dawne and I have been together for six years now, and the Prairie Volunteers have been so kind and supportive and just damn good people and friends since the time that Dawne and I met. Invitations will be sent out, to as many volunteers as we can, but the informal ceremony will be short and sweet and anyone and everyone is invited to share this special ceremony, if only for a laugh. I hope you are as excited for us as we are.
Saturday, 12 Noon
Refreshments will be supplied.

The Three Million Dollar Fish
msnbc article
LOCKPORT, Ill. - Environmental officials say they have found a single Asian carp in a canal leading to Lake Michigan--the closest any of the giant fish have come to the Great Lakes.Environmentalists fear the Asian carp could starve out other fish and devastate the $7 billion-a-year Great Lakes fishing industry.
Department of Natural Resources assistant director John Rogner says the single fish was found Thursday among tens of thousands of other species scooped up during a kill operation in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
