If you look to the right of this post you'll notice I added a fund raising widget. A couple of weeks ago I did not know what a widget was but now that I do I am quite certain I will become a widget king. Yep, it's RATPOD time again, that super cool, super challenging one-day ride through the big hole valley and up and over the Pioneer mountain range of Montana to support Camp Mak-A-Dream. Camp Mak-A-Dream is a magical place in Gold Creek, Montana that is an all-expense paid camp for kids and young adults with cancer. You can visit my fund raising web page to learn all about the camp and to hear my full story about why I think this is such an incredible cause. I'm shooting big this year...$10,000.00 US dollars big. Wanna help me get there?

Anyhow, I waited just long enough that I was considering a snooze by the time the medical assi...

This morning we headed down to the University of Montana to try and get into the Adams Center for Barack Obama's free Missoula rally. The Obama campaign announced the event on Wednesday night and decided to give away 8,000 tickets...all were gone by Thursday morning. So they added an additional 2,000 tickets, which were gone in another 2 hours! Yesterday they announced that after the Adams Center was full(first come first served), anyone wanting to could sit outdoors in the University football stadium. I would estimate there were 12-15,000 people there by 9:00 AM. We stood in line with a group of friends (Nate, Markie, Daphne, Sarah, Alex, Russ, Julie) and wound our way across campus hoping to get in to the event. Suddenly a reporter asked Jen and I if we would mind answering some questions; I guess I talked for about two minutes. He asked me about why I came to the event, why I was excited, what it meant to Montana and things like that. Afterwards he mentioned he was with...

I'll put up my best of 2007 music soon, but in the meantime, this was just too good to pass up.
