Blue Christmas

Get out your hankies, bikers! Harley, the cute Siberian husky who made legal history in February when a judge ruled that she is not a person, is missing. . . . Owner Jeremiah Gerbracht beat a ticket for carrying his “best friend” on the gas tank of his Harley-Davidson, where the law prohibits a person from riding. He said Harley slipped out a door left open by a house guest Wednesday. Harley thinks it’s a game, like hide-and-seek, but has never been gone this long, said Gerbracht.

Welcome, Hercules

The Burbank Airport Hilton may be the new hot spot for that quintessentially Hollywood take on the business convention--the TV fan club conclave. . . . First came “Quantum Leap,” then “The X-Files,” “I Love Lucy,” and “Hawaii Five-0.” Now comes the loincloth set. Fans of “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” and “Xena: Warrior Princess” will be there Jan. 11 and 12.
