Goodbye Bachelor Mark
Hello Superstar Kristi
Watching network television on Mondays was killing me. Thanks for NOT rosing at the last ceremony Bachelor Mark – That opens up my week to start watching Superstar Kristi on ABC Tuesdays.
Bachelor Mark – Episode 5
I basically yawned through this episode. Bachelor Mark yawns early too, but was able to show off his theatrical skills. Snow adventures commence… and Jillian probes the crowd for the real answers. If I hear “are you here for the right reasons” one more time I am going to pop my own eyes out.
Episode 5 Summary
Bachelor Mark:
Not surprised to see him go… but none the less am very surprised he had the balls to try this “find love on network television” approach of love seeking. It is good to have my golf partner back.
Everyone Else:

Good Deeds in Vegas
I told Roxann to document something while she was out in Vegas for St. Patty’s day. She came back with this drunken endeavor of helping the streets of Las Vegas to party harder and act nicer.
Good deeds Roxs… Definitely good deeds indeed.

Alpine Initiatives
JP Auclair just informed me that he will be visiting Colorado prior to his 2nd Alpine Initiatives trip to Africa.
“I’ll be in CO between the 23rd and the 28th of June,right before heading off to Africa for our second AI trip. I think we should throw some partied to raise some $$ while we’re at it.”
JP’s french canadian is obviously still high gear. Can’t wait to revisit with him as it has been a very long time since our last edit session. Alpine Initiatives is about to drop a new website… take a sneak peak here and feel free to donate to the good cause.
New Alpine Initiatives Website Coming Soon

If you drink coffee at star bucks check your accounts and see if you got your money back.
Legislation + TV Ads
As if we don’t have enough government involvement in our lives. Congress is getting involved with the volume level of TV commercials.
I think California house representatives should have something better to do with their time. But the broadcasters are responding…
“Broadcasters and advertisers want to set their own standards, in which a commercial would be “loud enough that a reasonable person can hear it, but not so loud you can hear it in Mongolia,”
– Says Dan Jaffe, the executive vice president for government relations of the New York-based Association of National Advertisers.
Does anybody even watch television ads?
Here is the story for those board at work.

Team USA – Ryan St.Onge
Another exciting olympic season is closely approaching and I can’t wait for a good friend to win gold. Ryan St.Onge will be the next Olympic Gold Medalist for mens freestyle aerials.
Don’t be as surprised as I was to see him in this ad for Olympic Team USA.
