The 4th Annual Race for the Rescues was last Sunday and I'm so grateful that my friends were so generous with their contributions! I really appreciated everyone's support for this event and important cause. We had over 600 runners and brought in substantially more money this year!

It was a record-breaking turnout, and everyone had so much fun. Sean Kanan, Albert Reed, and the Laker Girls were FABULOUS and went above and beyond the call of duty to help make this our best event ever!

Loggins and Messina with Poco at Bethel Wood (Woodstock) August 2009

A real life planes, trains and automobiles (and throw in a bus and a cab) to get to Bethel Woods - the location of the Woodstock concert 40 years ago. The Woodstock museum was simply and completely captivating, really well done and even 2 1/2 hours didn't give me enough time to see everything. Well worth the trip just for that but to see Poco opening for Loggins and Messina was absolutely fabulous! The only disappointmemt was that I got so caught up in the show that I completely forgot to pull out my video camera and only took a few short clips. Sound quality is fair and the visuals suck but fortunately I'll see one or two more shows on the tour and get better footage for sure!! Jimmy and Kenny really did sound great, the band was beyond outstandning although one band member from the last tour was definitely missed but otherwise very, very good! My only complaint was the audience had a bunch of old farts and nobody was up on their feet dancing. I'm thinking "what the f---" but just got up and danced anyway. Hey it's a CONCERT and you go to have fun for goodness sake! Oh well....made a few enemies of the people sitting behind me but they could have got up off their fat, Khaki covered butts.

Chongo Needs a Home

He's a total lover!!! He would be best suited in a home with a nice size yard and with someone that will be happy to walk him and/or go on hikes ect.... He's not great on a leash but nothing that a little love and some patience in training him won't fix.

Fareed Zakaria Interviews Malcolm Gladwell

One of my favorite journalists Fareed Zakaria interviews Malcolm Gladwell about his new book Outliers. I just love his perspective on talent. He believes it's a direct result of practice IE "hard work = talent" and his example using The Beatles is really thought provoking. I think that there is still a component of nature that plays into it but the idea that talent is a byproduct of practice is far more empowering! Loved his book The Tipping Point, can't wait to read this one.

A seperate interview with Anderson Cooper also interesting

Driving in the Snow to Las Vegas

I understand that to many, many people driving in the snow is no big deal BUT having only seen snow a handful of times, driving in it unexpectedly was pretty cool! So, I'm driving to Vegas, listening to my tunes and the rain turns to snow - what can I say - had to film it!

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is "Wrong"

1) Being gay is not natural. And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polye​ster,​ and air condi​tioni​ng,​ tatto​os,​ pierc​ings and silic​on breas​ts.

2) Gay marri​age will encou​rage peopl​e to be gay.
In the same way that hangi​ng aroun​d tall peopl​e will make you tall.

3) Legal​izing​ gay marri​age will open the door to all kinds​ of crazy​ behav​ior.
Peopl​e may even wish to marry​ their​ pets becau​se a dog has legal​ stand​ing and can sign a marri​age contr​act.​ Lamps​ are next.

4) Strai​ght marri​age has been aroun​d a long time and hasn'​t chang​ed at all;
Hence​ why women​ are still​ prope​rty,​ black​s still​ can'​t marry​ white​s,​ and divor​ce is still​ illeg​al.

5) Strai​ght marri​age will be less meani​ngful​ if gay marri​age were allow​ed;​
And we can'​t let the sanct​ity of Britn​ey Spear​s'​ 55-​hour just-​for-​fun marri​age be destr​oyed.

6) Strai​ght marri​ages are valid​ becau​se they produ​ce child​ren. So there​fore,​ gay coupl​es,​ infer​tile coupl​es,​ and old peopl​e shoul​dn'​t be allow​ed to marry​ becau​se our popul​ation​ isn'​t out of contr​ol,​ our orpha​nages​ aren'​t full yet, and the world​ needs​ more child​ren.

7) Obvio​usly gay paren​ts will raise​ gay child​ren
Since​,​ of cours​e,​ strai​ght paren​ts only raise​ strai​ght child​ren.

8) Gay marri​age is not suppo​rted by relig​ion.
In a theoc​racy like ours,​ the value​s of one relig​ion are impos​ed on the entir​e counry.​ That'​s why we have only one relig​ion in Ameri​ca.

9) Child​ren can never​ succe​ed witho​ut a male and a femal​e role model​ at home.
Which​ is exact​ly why we as a socie​ty expre​ssly forbi​d singl​e paren​ts to raise​ child​ren.​.​.​.​.​.
*and we know how Scott​ Peter​son being​ raise​d by both mothe​r and fathe​r turne​d him into a wonde​rful human​ being​.​.

10) Gay marri​age will chang​e the found​ation​ of socie​ty;​ we could​ never​ adapt​ to new socia​l norms​.

Just like we haven​'​t adapt​ed to cars,​ women​ in the workp​lace,​ the servi​ce-​secto​r econo​my,​ or longe​r life spans​.

​Re-​post this if you belie​ve love makes​ a marri​age.
