World Rhino Day!

Today is the 3rd annual World Rhino Day. People all over the world are celebrating and helping these amazing creatures. Rhinos are dear to my heart and at the center of my working life.  They are amazing animals and I am glad to see the message that rhino horn is NOT medicine slowly spreading throughout the world. If we can take away the demand, then we remove the poachers from the equation entirely.

There is still time.
We can make a difference.
May these animals live on to inspire wonder and amazement in future generations.

Fairly Legal

Fairly Legal is a show on the USA Network that is currently on the fence about being renewed for another season. I, personally, adored the show and saw it as a beacon of positivity and hope in a TV land quagmire of negativity, harsh truths and reality shows.  Kate Reed fights for what is right and it is absolutely wonderful to watch her story unfold.  There are moments of poignancy and joy in the show and if you too enjoyed it as much as I have then now is the time to write in. I just put my letter in the mail, as well as, left a voice mail asking for a 3rd season of this great show.  Often times we are just the eyes on the couch that bear witness, but every so often we can assert our voice and place as the reason these shows are made at all by letting these networks know what we want from them.  If you are moved to write in, do so here-

USA Network
30 Rockefeller Plaza 21st Floor
New York, NY 10112

and/or

Call the NBC switchboard at 212-664-4444, and ask to leave a message on the USA Network Viewer Hotline. 

I hope to see it return next year. I asked Michael Trucco about it at Dragon*Con this year. He said he loves being on the show and if we want to see more of him and all of the others at Reed & Reed we need to let USA Network know we want the show to continue!

Dragon*Con 2012

DragonCon 2012 was amazing this year!  The Avengers costumes went over extremely well and when we finally made it to the Georgia Aquarium we were able to take some amazing shots.

Arriving by Thursday afternoon allowed us to get our rooms and badges in record time. (Walked right up to pre-registration booths, took less than 5 minutes! It was awesome.) We ended up back in our room wondering what we were going to do for the rest of the afternoon. We decided to go on an adventure - we fought demons, wandered lonely streets, climbed unimaginable heights, traveled to the end of the universe and, of course, saved the world, twice.

Dragon*Con Officially kicked off Friday at 10am - when the first panels started.
For celebrities I was able to make it to a Jason Momoa and a LOTR Panel and watched a Stargate and BSG panel on DCTV. I also made a few SF literature and writing panels. A good mix of the fun and the cerebral.
There's more! -->

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
