Savannah Day One

Hi Friends,

Before reading this blog, please read yesterday's posting by Sean....

Yesterday's dog races were certainly eventful. I am the first to confess that I am the slowest skater among the four, and therefore, probably the easiest feast for a hungry pit bull. However, Sean noted that by the end of the day, it seemed interesting to him that the other boys were all sprinting frantically and I seemed to remain cool while being chased by the dogs. Well, to clear things up, unlike the other four skaters, I am not scared of miniature poodles. While the first dog certainly was viscous and probably hungry for "rollerblader," the miniature poodle that chased us across the finish line was friendly, playful, and cuddly. I was behind everyone not because I am a slow skater, but because I stayed behind to pet the nice puppy.

We arrived at Savannah early this morning to appear on Fox's morning show, "am Awake." Carson and I sat in the living room looking set fielding questions from the morning show anchor, Trish with Sean and Orto watching from the station's waiting room.

We next headed to Savannah's Jewish Center to play floor hockey with a group of campers. Orto and I captained the "Sharks" along with six teammates, and Sean and Carson played for the "Cougars." After a hard played game, the sharks prevailed by a goal. A great time was had by all.

Our last stop of the day was at Smooth Smoothie Shop in downtown Savannah. Lynne Javetz organized the event, and it gave us the opportunity to meet several local families impacted by autism. These events are always special, as it gives us the chance to speak with the kids, parents, and siblings of individuals from each area impacted by Autism. A big thank you to Susan from Smooth for putting on the event. If you're from the Savannah area, make sure to check out her place on Wright Square.

Heading out for a bit...

Bests,
Dan T.
