1) Save the Music! Sadly, when schools are forced to cut programs due to financial stressors, the arts are the first to go. Creating music is an amazingly cathartic process and should be available to our youths. Look at it this way... if there are no music programs, there will be no new bands and the future will be a pseudo "guitar heroes".

2) The Humane Society. The humane society works towards the eradication of abuse and neglect of domesticated animals and educating the community. If you are looking for a new furry friend... this is a good place to start.

4)Marina Abramović My wife introduced me to the work of this amazing individual known as the "Grandmother of performance art" and my perspective on art has never been the same! She is AMAZING! Here is a short bio. Marina Abramovic, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is without question one of the seminal artists of our time. Abramovic has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. Abramovic’s concern with creating works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life like lying, sitting, dreaming, and thinking; in effect the manifestation of a unique mental state.

5) The late Hunter S. Thompson One of my all time heroes. A true inspiration and embodiment of the spirit of freedom. Check out the link... He's not just "the guy who wrote 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'"... the rabbit hole goes much, much deeper.

6) The Inn at Glendyer This unique bed and breakfast in beautiful Nova Scotia is owned by a dear friend of mine of many years.

8)SETI searching the universe for signs of intelligent life in hopes that they would want to communicate with our self-destructive and environmentally ignorant species. All I have to say is that if it does happen... I hope it's more like "E. T." rather than "Independence Day".

9) Bubb Rubb!!! ... You've gotten this far. You deserve a good laugh and this madness will deliver. My only warning is that you might want to outfit yourself with a pair of adult diapers prior to pressing play. Enjoy!
