When you get there I recommend you click on GALLERY VIEW ORIGINAL SIZE (upper right hand side of picture) . It will open up your screen to incredible majestic views and humorous comments of our trip to Hawaii. Hope your're not bored by the 21st century version of home movies. But at least you can stop watching without the hosts knowing!

Astounding LOST Theory

Monica Wilson found this one. A LOST theory that is maybe the most sensible I've ever heard. Check it out at http://community.livejournal.com/lost_tv/1631599.html?thread=35257199

Feel free to leave comments. You will no doubt have some.

LOST FILMING ???

Wanted to get this posted before Tomorrow's LOST episode. While in Hawaii we saw a lot of the areas they film LOST, studio's at the base of DIAMOND HEAD where they shoot interiors, and while on a cruise saw them actually filming a scene from a future episode. WE THINK...

The tour guide told us it was definitely LOST, and that they had been shooting there for 2 days. But we saw no STARS, no JACK, no KATE, no SAWYER or HURLEY. And if you look closely at the pics, you'll see it is an 1800's era scene. The big thing to notice is a sign that says "Welcome Princess." Should be easy to spot in a future episode. But the time period means they would flash-back to the 1800's!?!

Click on the pics to make'm bigger. You decide. Oh, out of frame is a Burl Ives looking character who is up on a stage addressing those looking on.

Back from vacation...

and I should have a bunch of quickie updates once I get things sorted out (you know how that goes). Anyway, just before I headed out to Hawaii, I got a nice text from Brian Campbell. I had just sent him a text congratulating him on his spinner-rama goal against Montreal (one of the top 10, maybe 5 best goals in the league this year), and he replied, nearly verbatim:

Thanks Rob. In Chicago tonight, week long road trip. It's been a lot of fun. Weather is great and team treats you nice. Talk Soon.

I might be reading too much into it, but doesn't the "team treats you nice" line stand out a bit in regard to what he went through with the Sabres. Brian is too classy to say it was intended that way, but...

By the way since the trade, San Jose hasn't lost in 9 games. The Sabres...hanging on.

World's Most Organized Man

Just got done reading a great article in Men's Health about Douglas Merrill, the CIO of Google. What is CIO? You'll have to read the article to find out. And what was so great about the article? It's an awesome thought starter as to how to compartmentalize and organize your mental life. Compartmentalization is something I've always been big on. It's the ability to focus on the most immediate, most important task and finish it successfully while hundreds of other things are going on. All great athletes and performers have the ability to compartmentalize; to perform at their very best while challenges of contracts/touring schedules/plane and bus rides/family problems and other mundane events pull others down.

You can read the article here, or better yet try to find an old Feb 2008 copy of Men's Health. And while your are at it, get a subscription. It's always a good read for men and women.
