The Walk for Animals

Help support me in the Walk for Animals


I will be participating in the Animal Humane Society's 2008 Walk for Animals. With five Twin Cities locations, they care for more than 36,000 unwanted, abused and neglected animals each year.


My dog, Jake and my cat, Max were both from the Humane Society of Golden Valley.


In 2006, 20,800 homeless animals became precious pets with names and addresses. The Humane Society is an open-admission facility that makes every effort possible to bring people and pets together. No animal is turned away and the typical stay for a cat or dog is less than one week. 20,800 new pet owners came to us and went home with their own version of happy.

Across the Universe

If you haven't seen Across the Universe yet, go rent it now. It is beautiful. I hate to use the description of "Musical" because then I think of a bunch of theatrical dorks running around signing show tune. But it is a musical. But the music is all Beatles songs. Each song is unique to the original and beautifully sung. The actors are all unknowns and their voices are good, but they aren't great. Which is another reason why I like it so much. They are everyday kids who can carry a tune. One voice who's stands out is definitely T.V. Carpio. When she sings "I want to hold your hand" it just makes your surroundings disappear as you melt into her voice. I think John Lennon would be extremely proud of these kids for pulling off such an important movie.
