Let's go to a race in Greenville, S.C.

Well, you all have seen a lot of footage in this blog of my youngest daughter and her bike racing triumphs. Now I want to swing the camera around to my little sister Nonie, a babyboomer like myself.

When we were growing up, she was the athlete and I was the musician. After a long and award-winning career in track and field, marathons, tennis, and fencing, she (more or less) retired from sports. Then, all of a sudden last week-end she got a bee in her bonnet to go try being in a race in Greenville, S.C. With little or no training, she went to the race and won the gold in both of them!!! I am amazed, impressed, and proud of her!! Please everone, give her a round of applause. Will keep you posted on her future endeavors! GO NONIE!!!

Derby Time in Louisville!

Kentucky Derby season is in full swing now as we countdown to the final week. Today we had two of the really big events: The Mini-Marathon and the Great Balloon Race.

The U.S. Bank Derby Festival® Great Balloon Race® is one of Louisville's favorite family traditions. When the Balloons lift off, it provides spectators young and old with an exhilarating view of boundless colors and shapes. Click here to view a history of the Great Balloon Race®.
How it worksThe Great Balloon Race® follows a combination of a "Declared Goal" and the traditional ballooning game of "Hare and Hound" race format. The U.S. Bank balloon leads the action as "the Hare". As any good hound would do, the other balloons spawn an aerial chase of the Hare, launching in a planned sequence minutes after the Hare.
The winds determine where the balloons fly. The Hare Balloon flies until it finds a suitable spot preferably in a vacant field. It lands and lays out a large fabric "X" as the target. In hot pursuit, the Hounds try to drop a small bag of Kentucky Bluegrass seed as close to the "X" as possible, all without landing. Race officials then measure the distance between the target and the bag of grass seed at the target zone and calculate points.
FESTIVAL TIP:Due to construction at the Fairground, attendees may still enter through the main KFEC gate off Phillips Lane, but will have to access the field through South Wing A.
Parking will be a premium at KFEC on Friday night. Your best bet to be parked for the U.S. Bank Balloon Glow is to come out early.
The pilot with the most accurate toss is the overall winner receiving $3000 and bragging rights for a year!

My new friend in Sarasota...Dr. Buckler!

As you know from an earlier post this week, I've been in Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida this week, visiting friends. On Wednesday, my new friend from a Mastermind Group came and picked me up and took me to lunch, to walk on the beach and then to see her beautiful home in Sarasota. I wanted to let all of my readers know about HER new website which is http://www.stayoutofmyer.com/ . This new site is packed with health and wellness education and you can sign up for a free "tip of the week." I did and they are all wonderful! Dr. Marlene Buckler is a kind and generous ER physician and offers loads of great information on the site and you can also subscribe to it if you want and get personal information from Dr. Buckler. You must check it out!!

Chantdoc is having fun in Florida!

I'm in Sarasota right now visiting friends and checking out some resorts for my new travel business. Now that I've gotten into the travel business (in addition to my music medicine work!) I'm really enjoying getting to travel all over the place and have it be tax deductible too.
The one problem I'm having this trip is that I don't have easy access to wireless internet connection. Thank goodness for Starbucks and other coffee shops. Once you're been on wireless it's really hard to back to dial-up, but then, that's better than no internet at all.
Went to the beach yesterday and got a little sun but mainly just basked in the healing energy of the water and the waves. For me the ocean is so healing...that and the sound of palm fronds blowing in the wind.
If you have any suggestions for accessing wireless when on the road, please let me know! More later...

I need your opinion, friends and family

Hello to all the Cash friends and family! We are a family that loves to travel! Two of my daughters have lived in Europe for extended periods of time and Charles and I both lived and studied in Europe in 1974. As youv'e seen in this blog, Liz lives on the other side of the country and now travels coast to coast racing bikes of various kinds. We love to travel: planes, boats, cars and bikes! Soooooo, as you know, I've been contemplating buying a travel website that can provide unbelievably good deals to my family and friends. I just want your input as to what we should name the website. It will basically be Travelocity with my own company's name on it. As a result, I can offer friends and families discounts on travel and get a commission myself.
My question to you is...what should I call it? I'm thinking of www.CashFamilyTravel.com. Of course anyone can use it! I'll also be able to sell the travel sites to others so I thought we might want to expand it to HudnallFamilyTravel, MayoFamilyTravel, or SpiroFamilyTravel. When one sells a site to another person, the seller then gets a percentage of whatever travel that person books, plus, as a travel agent you can get free upgrades on all your own travel and your own travel becomes 100% tax deductible!
I'd like to get it within the next few days so please get back to me about what you think I should call the site! Thanks a million! See you on the cruise ship??
