Stepping up to the Plate

...and not the dinner plate. Like all busy days, I've been up for an hour emailing the gang to remind them about the benefit. (I'm alone and it's so much easier to get up and in action that way.) Craig Stevens, WSVN's head anchor, sent me a delightful email last night saying he was coming with his dog, Jack. I don't know who is more gorgeous, Craig or Jack, but Jack licks my face so I'll throw the title to him.

I trudged across the island last night passing out my flyers and accepting the occasional drink from a supporter. That may be why I don't remember coming home, but it was all for a good cause.

My beloved dog, KiKi, has been practicing The Dog Tango for today and I had a hard time finding him a Gaucho hat small enough to fit his classic frame. Ditmar came up with a super list of drink specials for the afternoon and Crown Prince Boris got the staff in line for the occasion.

The lights dim; the curtains rises; a hush descends over the audience. The show is about to begin.
