Day 12: Stand For What You Believe! (alternately titled: OMG, it's POISON!!!!!)

A quick housekeeping note - my sincerest apologies for going on day 4 or 5 of not having a chance to catch up on all the wonderful blogs I follow!!  I feel a bit of an empty spot today for not knowing what you and your beautifully-enhanced (uh, that sounds a bit like we're genetically-engineering our kids...) children have been up to or what valuable tidbits of advice you've posted these last few days.  While I love being busy, I don't like to be out of the loop for so long.  Bear with me, I'll be back and catching up eventually!!!! 

And, in the interest of time-saving skills at their best, rather than finish writing the dozen or so posts I've started in my queue (including my 2nd Buddy Walk of the season from this past Sunday), here's a quick, fun news story link for Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

For those of you who live in Florida, who may or may not live somewhere in the vicinity of Orlando, who may or may not be fans of the slightly hypochondriacal, ever entrepreneurial, rather loose, uber hot Brett Michaels, who may or may not be ready to admit to re-live their hair band days of yore, Poison are doing a concert to benefit the Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida on November 5th!!  Click here for full information or to purchase tickets for the Stand For What You Believe concert.  Not sure I want to pay $2,500 to have a hot dog with Brett (oh, so many things I could say here...), but a good cause is a good cause.  How cool is that?
