This is a quick post to let you know Springfield is dedicating the new Confederate Dog Park tonight at 5:30.

Update: the dog park ribbon ceremony has been moved to Friday, June 12 5:30 p.m. There are lots of other things to do on this First Friday of June.

Today would also be a good day to follow me on Twitter and/or the Urban Jacksonville Facebook page. I have really been enjoying Facebook lately. It’s like Twitter with photos and discussion. Come hang out.

NOTE: At 9am I’ll be live Tweeting the Mayors appearance on WJCT’s In Context: Week In Review

PLEASE DELETE ME FROM YOUR FACEBOOK FRIENDS

First thing this morning people started contacting me and asking if I was ok. My first thought was “yeah I feel great”. My second thought was “why are they asking me this?”.

Come to find out someone is masquerading as me in my actual Facebook profile asking people for money to get me home from London. If I really was stuck in London, I don’t think I would be using Facebook as my primary means to raise money to get home. No offense.

The best thing you can do is remove me as your Facebook friend and ask your friends to do the same. I’m really sorry for any troubles this may have caused you today. I’ve been in touch with Facebook and so far I haven’t heard back from them. Hopefully Facebook can do something about this and it will all be over soon.
