I just found this segment from the Battle of the Network Stars Running Relay in 1978. A celebrity mile relay. For those of you old enough to remember this-Priceless! Lou Ferrigno handing off the baton to Valerie Bertinelli? David Letterman on the opening leg? Billy Crystal going toe-to-toe with LeVar Burton on the anchor leg? And Howard Cosell is announcing the race. Why can’t we do this kind of thing anymore? Would stars show up for this? It was so entertaining.

I just saw Rick Springfield @Borders bookstore in Northridge, CA. It was crazy with moms in their 30′s, 40′s & 50′s with their kids. Here he is singing “Jessie’s Girl.”
Here’s a great motivational scene from Rocky. I think sometimes we all need to be reminded of how life beats us down, but we are better than we think we are. Change your thoughts!
The incident forced the evacuation of 325 people from a San Jose building, with 28 taken to hospital.
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
(San Francisco Chronicle) A downtown San Jose building was evacuated and 28 people were sickened Tuesday after an employee trying to clean a refrigerator filled with rotting food mixed two chemicals, releasing noxious fumes, authorities said.The incident forced the evacuation of 325 people from the AT&T building at 3475 N. First St. shortly before noon, said Fire Department Capt. Barry Stallard. Paramedics treated 28 people for symptoms that included vomiting and nausea, and seven of them were taken to hospitals, Stallard said.
The problems began when an employee on the second floor opened a refrigerator that had been unplugged and found rotting food inside, Stallard said. She moved the fridge to a conference room and used a cleaning fluid to get rid of the mess.
The woman, who was suffering from a sinus problem and couldn’t smell the chemical, then used a second solution, Stallard said. The two chemicals interacted in the air, adding to an already pungent odor caused by the rotten food.
“Discarding the food isn’t so critical, but more critical is the cleaning chemical, making sure you know what you’re using,” Stallard said. “Don’t combine chemicals – you’re never supposed to combine chemicals.”
On the way home from the Laughlin River Run last week. It was an 8 hour journey. Talk about a workout--1 hour of tension holding yourself and the 600+ harley up in the wind going through 10 freeway by Cabazon. By we were sore the next day. Can anyone say, "Massage?"
Whatever you’re stressing about probably won’t kill you, but worrying about it can. When you cultivate a “this too shall pass” attitude, you boost your health in more than one way:
• It keeps your arteries younger than Beaujolais nouveau. Anxiety is so hard on your heart: Highly anxious people with heart disease are twice as likely as their more mellow-minded peers to suffer a heart attack or die. Give your body anxiety and it snaps into “Uh, oh, is that python going to be my dinner, or do I need to start running now?” kind of thinking. This fight-or-flight response comes complete with a racing heart, shallow breathing, dilated pupils, and increased blood flow to your extremities. Handy when facing the python, not so much when facing the CEO. Over time, this high-alert state causes needless aging of your blood vessels.
• Your memory stays more agile than a 10-year-old gymnast. Obsessive worriers have more than double the risk of cognitive decline compared with their more carefree peers, a problem linked to that artery wear and tear.
Here are some ways to keep yourself younger:
• Knock out your concerns by writing them down (along with potential solutions).
• Talk them out with people you love. Work on decisive plans of action for worries that won’t go away.
• Settle your mind with activities like walking or lifting weights. It won’t take long — recent research suggests that as little as 8 weeks of yoga can drop your anxiety level.
• Bonus: Kicking worries to the curb drives up your motivation and concentration, too.
