Helping Out



We placed 9th overall out of 28 teams. We were the 4th best men's team out of 11. Our times improved from last year. Visit here for the full team results. Definitely some fast people in this race. Men and women!! There was one girl that finished with a better time in the run than I did. She actually had the fastest women's run time in the entire race, so I don't feel too horrible.

Check out the next sweet, sweet race Mr. Frex and I will be dominating this weekend in Curwensville, Pa.

Next, I would like to encourage all of you to participate in the Hurricane Katrina relief effort being organized by Kohl's Dept Stores. This is a late notice by me but Kohl's is accepting lightly used clothes and shoes until Wednesday, Sept 14th. Help out if you have time! Check it out!

UPDATE:
The FBI and Internet Fraud Complaint Center has reported a significant number of fraudulent Web sites and email schemes, some appearing within 48 hours of the disaster occurrence, soliciting donation by credit card or bank transfer. For more warnings about current fraudulent internet activity, visit the FBI—Internet Fraud Complaint Center.

"Dream Job"

Just wanted to follow up with a little more on Jack Johnson and some other key news regarding some close friends. Please read more (whether you enjoy his lyrics or not) on Jack Johnson here or here & here (if that first link fails).

Plus, I would encourage you to check out details of JJ's In Between Dreams Summer 2005 Tour which clearly stamps him as a key advocate for our wonderful, God-given planet. Take a minute to check out all the sweet stuff they are doing with the tour and some of the partners! Awesome.

Some quick news about my next race. I will be the running leg.

Read this about "Salting Hollywood". Please continuing praying for my good friend, Brian Martin, as he lives with his wife in Culver City, CA, and works his way into the filmmaking industry. A dream job?

In just a few short weeks, I will be making a journey West as I accompany my dear friend Pam Shaffer to Oak Harbor, Washington! Please lift up Pam in prayer as she continues to prepare for a major move, new occupation and leaving many friends. Check here for info on her new dream job! Visit Youth Dynamics for more info on the organization Pam will be working with and ways that you can help contribute. Lastly, feel free to jump over to her blog and drop P a line.

Finally, for information on how and where to volunteer to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina...visit here.

Twisted Logic Tour appeals to X/Y

August 11, 2005 marked my attendance at a fourth Coldplay concert in their young, yet illustrious career. I also had the great privilege of seeing them play twice during the 2003 Rush of Blood to the Head Tour. All the shows have included a high amount of energy from each member of the band. Most obvious, the antics of frontman Chris Martin, who enjoys running and bouncing around the stage yet maintaining an uncanny ability to still sing and piano play at an amazing clip.

The two shows this August proved no different. The energy, the musical excellence, the entertainment…it was all strongly evident in both shows. A minor mess-up at the beginning of The Hardest Part in Camden but that was Martin's fault. They were on top of their game at both shows including Chris Martin mixing in some fun lyrics to appeal to the crowd and location. Examples: Reference to Philadelphia where Rocky was filmed and dedicated Everything's Not Lost to all the tailgaters. In Pittsburgh, Chris dedicated the song Everything's Not Lost to Ben Roethlisberger and mentioned how the crowd would go bananas if he said Big Ben's name. He also sang about Pennsylvania in Politik.

Thus, if you ever have a chance to catch them live. Do it! For a great review on their Pittsburgh show...read it here. Also, if you are interested in photos, email me and I will send you a link!
