8/17 Show: Trampoline an Olympic Sport?

I don't know how many of you have been watching the Olympics, but if you
want to watch some entertaining coverage, you should watch on Canadian
television. It's pretty entertaining because you hear things like, "The
Americans go 1, 2 with Australia coming in 3rd. Canadian Roger
Mooseinboots comes in 18th, which is a personal best for him and a
Canadian record!" I'm trying to figure out what sport I could feasibly
make the Olympics in in 8 years, something where age doesn't really
matter or where I haven't passed the peak age for the sport. I'm
thinking air pistol or archery. Somebody said poker might be an Olympic
sport, which is just weird.

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Danskin this
weekend! The extra 1/4 mile they tacked onto the swim makes it an even
greater accomplishment.

KEXP would like to send you and a
friend to the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas
September 17-19. You will win roundtrip airfare to Austin, 3 nights
hotel stay and 3 day passes to the festival. This year's lineup includes
The Pixies, Wilco, The Roots, Modest Mouse, Drive-By Truckers, Franz
Ferdinand, Neko Case, Old 97's, Calexico and more. href="http://www.kexp.org/events/giveaways.asp">Enter to win.

A friend of mine found some interesting information saying that people
who are registered to vote are considered "more likely" candidates for
marriage by the opposite gender. More reason to href="http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/register.aspx">register to
vote.

Happy Tuesday,
Larry

I'm Doing it Again!
Yeah, that's right. I'm walking another 60 miles to show my support for
the fight against breast cancer. I will once again be participating in
the Breast Cancer 3-Day in San Diego this October. It's an amazing
weekend where thousands of men and women get together for three days and
walk 60 miles to display our commitment to continue the fight against
breast cancer. We take this time to honor lives lost, celebrate
survivors, promote breast cancer research, and help bring breast cancer
care to those who so desperately need it. You can read a little bit
about my experience last year, it's a big reason why I'm doing it again.
You can also watch the 3-Day video to help you get a little taste of why
we do it. If you would like to support me in this effort please visit my
donation page. Net proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust, funding important
breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. Don't worry,
your donations won't go towards paying for my flight or lodging, I pay
for all that myself.

8/3 Show: What? August already?

Despite the efforts of the deodorant lobby, cooler weather is upon us. Hooray! In the month of July, Seattle received a total of less than a quarter-inch of rain. According to some guy at the National Weather Service, July in Seattle is usually drier than the city of Phoenix. Now that's just crazy.

Tonight is the area's annual Night Out Against Crime, so get to know your neighbors and turn on your porch lights. One of the best ways to fight crime in your neighborhood is to know the people around you.

Do I really have to remind you to register to vote again?

Happy Day Before the Blue Angels Show Up,
