WatchSo who’s ready to see something embarrassing?
In 2000, a shy, nervous, almost 26 year old me appeared on the pilot episode of a failed game show. I did not win, in fact I lost a lot of money. The show aired for a few nights in June of that year and disappeared, until now. If you’ve ever wondered what I looked and sounded like at 26 while losing 80K this is your lucky day.
I appear at...

My LA Marathon
In mid February, a month before what I intended to be my first marathon, I strained a muscle which sidelined me for what I expected to be two weeks. I thought this wouldn’t be a problem, I’d rest and then get in two short tune up runs then run all 26.2 miles of the LA Marathon.
