This is a wee bit more commercial than some festivals, but the result
is that you get free chocolates. The local merchants are under orders
to give away chocolates that weekend and any merchant caught not doing

fine goes to charity, so someone wins in the end, no matter what happens.

This is Scott L. Schwartz. If you ever get into trouble, you'll want him on your side. This guy means business. And his business is playing big and bad. Big may come easy, because he's 6'10" and weighs about 300 pounds. I'm not sure how he pulls off the bad part though, because he actually seems to be very... Well, never mind. Just click on the banner and get ready for some action. ![]() www.ultimatebadguy.com |
Once upon a time there was a man with a gentle voice and quiet charm.
He made several movies and worked in a TV show playing a character who
rode a motorcycle from town to town, touching lives, and singing a little here and there.
Then some of us didn't hear much of him for awhile. We wondered if he would ever come to sing for us again.

Ever since William Malmskog and I began a dialogue I've been impressed by
his willingness to share openly the details of his life. Most of us hide
a lot of our lives from others and present only the parts we can polish and
make look acceptable. He isn't afraid to talk about how his difficulties,
including physical challenges, have guided him to an increased sense of
abilities and possibilities. |
I have a special place in my heart for people who allow themselves to be
vulnerable enough to show us their pain. But this isn't about being a
victim. It's about using adversity as a stepping stone to new challenges
and then helping the rest of us do the same. When he sends me welcome
updates of what he's been doing I know he's going to bring me something
I can bite into and use in my own daily challenges. Please take time to
visit his web site and explore the man who calls
himself the Crazy Viking. |

With the high cost of heating, lots of us have been turning down the thermostat
this winter. If you d\o this you can compensate a bit by layering your
clothing and even wearing a hat. And do be careful about making your home
too airtight in winter.
You may be shutting in allergens, toxins or hot, dry air that can
affect lung functionality.
