HOPEFUL HOLIDAY MESSAGE!

Many of you have both business and pleasure travel scheduled for December, as I do. With the Holiday Season now officially in high gear, I've reflected on some amazing memories that have taken place here. From my comedic Blogs about childhood pranks (three reverse somersaults down my parents stairs into the basement at age 8 while arguing with a sibling) to the story of a 17 year-old girl in Kentucky who saved a blind horse from being destroyed and later won a dressage competition --it's been so enjoyable for me to write here.

There's been plenty of hilarious antics too, such as my interview with Denny Shane, my crazy "Contests" (remember "The Lawnmower Karaoke Contest" with the guys from TLC's "American Chopper" TV series?) and our many "Theme Weeks". "THE INTERVIEW" hasn't yet reached it's full potential for a number of reasons I may tackle in another blog post sometime. But when people DID come on here to be interviewed, it was a pretty big "Event". For example, as an ASPCA supporter for years, you can only imagine how delighted I was to interview Annemarie Lucas and Joseph Pentangelo of the New York City ASPCA and The Learning Channel's (TLC) television show "Animal Precinct". Here are two personalities known to millions of television viewers. Nevertheless, they were so generous to me and self-less to commit to being my Guest. They struggled for almost one-year through non-stop demands of their schedules to answer each of my questions. That's determination! And eventually, we completed a great visit together. It's the smaller miracles like this that make me smile when I think about the decision I made to add a BLOG Page to my full Website so long ago. For the Holiday's, I've decided to include a special ASPCA public service message featuring singer/musician Sarah McLachlan. With so much bad news reported in the media, I wanted to counter this with a hopeful message for a change! I hope you agree!

See you soon!
