Missing University of Chicago Student: Austin Hudson-LaPore

Missing University of Chicago Student: Austin Hudson-LaPore

(PLEASE share this and help get the word out!)

He's a brilliant and kind kid from Albuquerque, NM. There's no way he was involved in drugs or anything else. Everyone here at home is just devastated. We've contacted everyone we can think of, from our local politicians to the authorities in Illinois.

The media has been mostly ignoring his story, but if we can generate enough interest, they will have to pay attention!

Sharing Austin's story does make a difference. Here is part of a conversation between me and Austin's dad:

Give our best to Dan and Rachelle and have them do their best to spread the word on Austin's disappearance via Facebook or any email lists they might have. The publicity is getting lots of resources mobilized for us.

Just recently, a canine tracker joined the search at no charge. The media exposure is also resulting in more involvement from the Chicago police.

Still no news about Omaha. Phooey!

How's the weather where you are? I hear we made the national news here in Albuquerque for being so stinking hot. It actually didn't seem that bad to me, but to be fair, I've been spending my days with my good friend, Mr. Air Conditioner.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The Challenges of Life with a Beard

Long before Duck Dynasty made the "crazy mountain man look" cool, there was Biscuit.

She will tell you that having a beard is not all it's cracked up to be. Sure, the ladies love it. But your confidence goes right out the window when you realize you've been strutting around all afternoon with a leaf dangling from it, utterly oblivious.

Things are especially rough when your mom and dad laugh at you and post your beard faux pas for all the internet to see.

Though, some might argue referring to themselves as their dog's mom and dad qualifies as a faux pas of their own.

Those Crazy New Mexico Drivers

On Saturday, my mom, aunt Jackie, and I spent the day in Santa Fe. We shopped, enjoyed a top-notch happy hour at Zia Diner, and strolled around the plaza. The highlight of our day, however, had to be the car I parked near (but not too near!) when we dropped my aunt off at the Buffalo Thunder Resort.

The car is resting on top of the concrete barrier.

How does someone do this??

They took the time to put up the sun shade!

My mom took this photo of me. I was going for a look of amusement, but didn't quite nail it. I blame my braces for giving me a toothless, old lady smile.

And, yes, that is a coffee and a Diet Coke. I needed some caffeine for my long drive back to Albuquerque. They're both complimentary at the casino, so why choose?
