The LA Marathon is on March 19, and

I'm doing it to raise money for the

Kitten Rescue charity. It's a worthy cause.

ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE, but if you feel 

some shred of humanity left within you 

calling out to your inner being to actually 

DONATE something, you can do so here. Thanks!

(and Triple-thanks-with-marshmallows to those of you who already have!)

                    had a brother named Viagoras. He, too, 

                    had a keen interest in right angles.

                    As some of you know, I’m in Florida for the week –         

                    playing for the first part and working for the second 

                    (sort of like a mullet, often referred to as, “party

                    in the front, business in the back) and I got to 

                    thinking. It’s actually a good thing the zombie 

                    apocalypse starts in Florida, because then the 

                    zombies only have one way to go, and that’s 

                    straight up into trigger-happy redneck territory. 

                    I give it two weeks before monster trucks and mullets save us all.
