Sorry I've been away so long but I've been busy...planning another road trip! I know, I just got back from one a few months ago, but I'm always looking for a good reason to take another one. And, this is a VERY important reason! Three years ago, I went to my first Augie's Quest Bash. If you've been following my blogs, you'll know all about the charity organization known as Augie's Quest. Named after Augie Nieto, who after afflicted with ALS...also known as Lou Gehrig's disease...began his quest to find a cure for this terrible disease. This charity is near and dear to the heart of John Ondrasik...better known as Five For Fighting. I had the pleasure of attending the Beach Bash for Augie's Quest back in 2008. It was a magical evening. John was there with his family, and he was SO NICE to introduce me to Augie and his wife Lynne. I also enjoyed the musical guest, Pat Monahan of Train. Unfortunately, work obligations prevented me from going to the following two Bashes, much to my disappointment.
But, good fortune smiled on me this year, and I'll be in San Francisco on March 18 for the 6th Annual Bash for Augie's Quest! Not satisfied with just flying down there, I decided to use a healthy chunk of my vacation time to do another road trip. Any excuse to get away from the wet and cold Northwest winter! Like my previous road trips, I've planned this one to death. I'll be doing new, cool things...and revisiting old favorites. And, like before, I'll be blogging everyday for those who are interested in sharing in my adventures! I don't know yet if John will be at this year's Bash, but I'm betting on it. It will be nice to see him again and say HI!
