Some Quick Random Thoughts

Hey guys! Just so you know, I am taking off on a wildlife retreat in Wyoming and Montana for the next week, so I won't be updating the blog until Sunday when I shall be blogging about the Tonys. I'm just going to do a quick prediction list tonight of my predications of winners as I must finish stuffing my backpack. But first, may I just say what an amazing man that Paul Newman is?! If you've ever boughten a "Newman's Own" brand product- they range from popcorn to salad dressing, you may know that the proceeds from them go to charity. Well, the end sum was revealed today as Newman reportedly sent out $120 million in charity. Can you ever comprehend that much money? Take a note from this celebrities! Newman, currently struggling with lung cancer has truly shown himself to be a both a classic film star and quite the gentleman. Well played, sir.
