If this can make me laugh, even with the dismal weekend I had… it can cheer anyone up.
*looks at watch, wondering when all my “AOL Forwarding Friends” will start circulating this… and send me MORE crap in my inbox.*

Yeah, yeah… I know I’m a little behind the times.
(Well, at least in the advertising world, I am. Usually, they have all of their Holiday ads and promotions done by mid-July.)
The Reasons for Christmas Project – Still a work in progress. There’s going to be a major media blitz FROM State Rep. Kelly Lewis’ office any day now, so I’m working day and night to get this sucker out the door with the help of his aide Jon Jorgenson (who’s one cool mofo, I gotta tell you…. and I’m not just saying that because he visits my site, and is most likely reading this.) :0)
Of course the main objective of the site is to raise funds and awareness of PATH (Pocono Area Transitional Housing).
An all-star lineup of world-class musicians FROM the Poconos recorded the CD (We already covered Bob Dorough here. Did you know Phil Woods was the saxophone player on Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are”? And he’s won several grammys for his jazz recordings? Neither did I. Well, I’m an moron… what’s YOUR excuse?)

Man… I don’t know how James Brown does it, but I am FRIGGIN EXHAUSTED!!!
No newsletter this month. Too busy.
Jann, Donna , The Mighty T, and Klondike Kate for getting the charity ball rolling and going above and beyond the call of duty…
Sue, Dr. D., Deborah, Lee, Dave, Tammie (who’s the birthday girl on Monday), Larry (yes, *that* Larry), and Kim for all the kind words, hilarious E-Cards, and making me feel so darned loved.

Not a bad week…
I’m half way through all the registration modules, and the Pennsylvania Music Awards got an endorsement FROM State Representative Kelly Lewis.
Oh, and btw, today is Johnny Kai’s birthday. If I haven’t mentioned it lately, he’s not only one of the headlining entertainers at Tamiment, he’s also the mastermind behind the PA and Hawaiian Music awards…

Considering we’re only 60 miles away FROM New York City, we’re pretty fortunate to have not lost power… but then again we ALWAYS go without lights during every thunderstorm.
Today on the Pocono Record: Bill Doolittle recalls the Blackout of 1965 in NYC. Pretty cool stuff, as he had to share his space with the staff of The New York Times.
I was only two or three months old during that Blackout… so I don’t remember much. I do remember Bushwick turning INTO a war-zone in 1977. That sucked.

I’m not sure if you guys are INTO that “making history” stuff, but I just created a slideshow for work about last night’s grand opening of the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts.
It’s an all-weekend gala including a $500 a plate dinner, featured guest of honor, Tom Ridge, major political figures…
History was just made.
Just so you know.
In case someone forgot to tell you.
Bob Dylan’s coming next week, btw.
Well, no. Not really. Maybe, depending on your maturity level.
Personally, I like to consider myself “really mature for a seventh grader”.
Dr. D. links to a story which recommends “preventative care”, and it’s his professional opinion that men “clean their rifles every day to keep prostate cancer at bay.”.

Kinda gives “HULK SMASH!” a whole new meaning don’t it?
Rumor has it that body builders all over the U.K. are throwing away their anabolic steroids and will now switch to gamma radiation… hopefully before they suffer any more, uhm, damage to their bodies. Yeah that’s it.

He was a beautiful man, with a beautiful voice. When it came to “setting the mood” (*nudge, nudge*)… nobody did it like Barry White. Just the sound of his deep baritone voice had women leaving puddles everywhere.
Mr. White passed away this morning at the age of 58. But his music is forever.
