For the greater part of my youth - from before kindergarten to near the end of my senior year of high school - my family had a Dalmatian named Penny. Named after a character from "101 Dalmatians", she was adored by my brothers and I. My mom, on the other hand, was not as fond of the dog as us kids were. Penny was an ornery dog, paying little attention to commands and habitually chewing up anything she could get hold of, even if that meant jumping up on tables and counters. It would be an overstatement to say that my mother hated the dog, but on many occasions, she would say half-jokingly that our next dog would be a labrador retriever because they are more well-behaved...

I am slowly but surely getting on track with these posts. I had my list midterm today, so perhaps now my schedule will return to normal - whatever that means. Today's submission comes from my friend Marc-André Chambers, who has introduced me to some of the bands that I have covered on this blog before. Apart from enjoying good music, however, Marc-André is also an avid sports fan, which is why it came as no surprise that he submitted "Jackie Robinson".
