Hello loyal MIKETOWN reader. In less than 2 weeks I will be on a team participating in the Winter Pineapple Classic to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I’m going to be on a 4 person team with Kirsten, Sidira, and Dave.

We’re tasked with raising $200 as a team and would love your support. If you donate more than $10 I will write your name on my shirt and add any additional message you may have.

Just go here and donate!

Thanks so much.

My Team…

Here are our Press Photos…

I was invited as a “randomly selected” Season Ticketholder for the Sounders to go on the field for a post game celebration after last night’s Seattle- FC Dallas game. During the ceremony, former national team goalkeeper and Sounders Captain, Kasey Keller, took off his goalkeeper jersey and gave it to me… AWESOME!

OK… so in the midst of all of finalizing of wedding details I think I have found a very small niche that could be capitalized on.

Keg Tubs

Yep, you know the plastic bucket that you put a keg in at a party with some ice to keep it cold?

How much would you expect to pay for one of those? $25, $30??? You’d probably rent one for $5 or $10, right?

Well, here’s the scoop. On the tip that DC mentioned to check out Home Depot I was amazed, nay, astonished that a plastic bucket there was only $5.96.

I feel like there is a money making opportunity here.
