Here is a great film — an inspirational film — a film about over coming great odds — to scale the highest summits.
I have met Erik — he was a key note speaker at an AOL all hands meeting; he is an amazing person — an amazing athlete.
Check this out — if he can do this — you can do anything you set your mind on. Go for it! Watch this film now — snag it and embed it — share it with your friends.
Guess who sat next to us at dinner on last night at Cafe Milano here in DC?
Helen Mirren - The Queen; the Academy Award winner; actress; and a woman of grace and style. She floated into the place. Everyone stopped talking and stared. She is regal and quite nice. She is in town for a while performing at the Shakespeare Theatre.
I wanted to invite her to tonight’s Washington Capitals game but my wife kicked me under the table at that notion.
I am so happy that Rolling Stone reviewed this great documentary and liked it so much they embedded the theatre widget for all to see. Get the Gits — on Snagfilms.com. Click here to read the review and watch the film.
DJ AM was found dead — it appears that he may have taken his own life — via a drug over dose.

I need one of these — I can’t sleep — I am always restless.
Here is fun weekend viewing — a psychedelic drama — a great documentary that will blow your mind. You can’t make this stuff up — “Flicker” rocks — expand your mind — drink the cool aid — get into that Woodstock state of mind, man. Click here — dream on.
I voted for Alex — and it appears his popularity is pretty strong locally — these days.
