This is a great article on how we can clean up the U.S economic problems! Definitely a good short read.
Living in New York City aka Manhatan

| From New York |
Mandy and I lived in my cousin’s apartment right in the middle of one of the greatest cities! We were there 4 days, and had more than our handful of walking a dog, walking around, and shopping. It was quite an adventure being in a small apartment with over sized furniture and a 6 month old puppy. It was fun, but definitely a lot of hard work and walking. We had a great time and I really appreciate my cousin letting us stay at his place. It’s an awesome place and he’s got a great dog. It was super fun to be able to walk everywhere and have some really good local food…and pizza! We really had a good time and didn’t do too much site seeing other than go to the famous Apple store and I bought Mandy a Tiffany’s Dragon Fly Pendant. Also Critchet and his fabulous girlfriend Gina drove up from the D.C. area to hang out and visit with us! We had one hell of night on the town Thursday Night.
Dave Matthews Band at Madison Square Garden
What an incredible show! I couldn’t have asked for a more fun show! Finally not only did I see some ‘Some Devil’ songs, but I saw 2 cover songs that were incredible to watch, aside from All Along the Watch Tower. Mandy couldn’t have asked for a more fun show, she finally got to see Satelite, great cover songs, and Julia Roberts introduce the band, which was another one of my highlights too. I didn’t know Julia was going to introduce the band, but it was truly special because I know she’s already close friends to the band and a huge fan. She was so sweet with some incredibly touching words and it really pumped us all up for an amazing show! The energy at this place was off the charts! I really love seeing the band in NY, this is definitely one of my top shows at close tie with Central Park. Enjoy the videos, thanks YouTube! I just finished downloading the show and add a link to download it later.

So Damn Lucky!
To the tragic deaths of some incredible people
Recently some of my favorite and inspiring ‘celebrities’ passed away for one reason or another.
First George Carlin, a pinnacle comedian of his life time and to this day. I did get to see him live back in Melbourne. Still extremely funny and innovative. You couldn’t have asked for someone so smart and engaging. Kevin Smith said it best in his blog post.
Bernie Mac, another hilarious comedian, and super nice guy. From everything I read about him online, from people meeting him, they only said good things. He was a hard working man, and deserved all the fame and success he had.
LeRoi Moore saxaphonist from the Dave Matthews Band. Another super nice guy that deserved everything he had. One with extreme talent, and the heart of gold. Mandy and I donated to some of his favorite charities in Virginia. We’ll be very sad when we see the Maddison Square Garden Show Stand Up for a Cure, it won’t be the same, but we’ll have a great time for the man above!
Orlando Doggy Day Care
Over the past two months, Mandy has taken the dogs to Happy Paws Orlando for doggy day care. I finally got the chance to visit this past Monday, and the amenities are awesome! The dogs absolutely love it!
We’ve really taken advantage of it, even if we just leave the dogs for the day. Hannah gets to swim, Marle gets to play with other dogs, and they come home exhausted! It’s really worth it and I’m glad I finally got the chance to see the place myself!. The owners Michael and Corrina are super nice and have done a phenomenal job with every detail. I’ve spoken extensively to the owners and they have done 5 years of research traveling around the country visiting Pet Resorts and talking to pet owners of what they liked and did not like about the pet resorts they were going to. They have really done their homework. It shows in the quality of everything they do, between limiting the number of dogs, and cats (because too many becomes unsafe for everyone), and being able to have a web cam to watch your dog from the web. It’s incredible the amount of effort to detail and service. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a pet. It’s good exercise and the grooming service they do is worth it. Best of all the price is very reasonable!!
