Shedding in Africa - Lost in Amsterdam (10 part series)
Amsterdam - the perfect place to rest and break up the long 10,000 mile trip to Africa. Or so I thought! After visiting the famous Anne Frank house I roamed down streets, canal after canal. Thinking this may be the last time I'd be able to check email, I darted into an internet cafe, unsnapped my backpack belt from around my waist, and carefully placed my bag under my chair and sat down to work. Suddenly, I looked around and my backpack was gone!
My heart sank into the pit of my stomach as my psyche began to catalog what had vanished.

Be Careful What You Put In Your Basket!
It was like clockwork. Friday night, 7pm. As a teenager, my ritual was having all my friends over, renting horror movies (like Halloween and Friday the 13th) and staying up late into the night watching one movie right after another. When I walked in the door from the video store, it was also the Friday night ritual to hear my mom's gentle reminder, "Kathy, be careful what you are putting in your basket!"

Have you sentenced yourself to Alcatraz?
Last fall, Lenny and Kathy traveled to San Francisco for a speaking engagement. While taking a tour of the legendary Alcatraz Island Penitentiary, Kathy stood in one of the cold, damp 9' x 5' cells and peered out the prison bars. "WOW! Look at the spectacular view of the San Francisco Bay. How incredible! The prisoners had the best view. There were so lucky," she exclaimed! Read more.
Don't Eat Green M&M's! They'll make you pregnant!
Traveling back from LA last week, Kathy and Lenny hopped on a plane and settled themselves into 7A (which seems to be their remote office seat assignment.) Minutes later, a young, attractive, blond woman sat down beside them. After she buckled up, she opened up a bag of M&M's and started eating them one by one. Read more.
