SKIPNOTE: Less than a month, troops.
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!)

                    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.
