Are you a So You Think You Can Dance fanatic?

If you're a dancer, former dancer, or just appreciate dance at all...you've probably watched So You Think You Can Dance and are a fanatic like the rest of us. The choreography, the songs, and the dancers are great, and thank God FOX is finally starting to air this fabulous show all year round. You may even be going to see the tour (like me!) and when you hear a song that was used on the show, you are immediately brought back to moments like "The Butt Dance", "Ramalama" and other crazy, memorable numbers.

If this is you, consider taking a peek at FOX's SYTYCD Music site: click here. Here, you can see all the titles, artists, dancers, choreographers, and genres of all the numbers on SYTYCD, including the solos and audition pieces. Personally, I have downloaded a bunch of my favs onto my ipod and love dancing around my house like a fool to these jams.....just a suggestion. Oh, and get excited for Season 6. I hear it's going to be "buck".

A Successful Tri

Yes, its taken me a week to write about it, but the triathlon was a success! I placed 7th in my age-group out of 18, and 97th out of 193 women overall. I was pretty happy overall with my performance for my first tri experience. The hardest part by far was the bike-to-run transition...your legs feel like rubber! It was such a fun experience though, and I can't wait for my next one in October! Thank you for all the support from my family and friends...you guys made my day! Here are some pics from the event. I think I've even talked Adam into learning how to swim so he can do one! ...krg

Here's a Health Reform idea: Put Down the Doughnut

I finally read an article today that summed up all my thoughts and issues with healthcare and healthcare reform. MSNBC's JoNel Aleccia hit the nail on the head: Has anyone ever heard of 'Personal Responsibility'? This story covers the issue of how poor personal health choices, primarily smoking and obesity, claim a large majority of health care costs in this country. The worst part? Many of these health problems preventable are a result of poor diet, lack of exercise, and choosing to smoke. For those who make wise health choices and live healthy lifestyles, we are still forking over a large portion of this money for those who are not privately covered, yet using up the majority of health care money. While it seems simple to make obese people and smokers pay higher healthcare premiums, this is not an easy solution. Where do you draw the line? Should motorcyclists pay more too because they choose to drive motorcycles which have high fatality rates? I don't know the answer, but I know something needs to be done to level the playing field here.
