A 56 year old man is walking from Arizona to Chicago to raise money for juvnille diabetes

motivated by the story of Ron Santo, he hopped on a highway in Prescott Valley, Ariz.,Jan.11 and headed for Wrigley Field with two goals: to raise $250,000 for juvenile diabetes and to arrive in time for the Cubs' July 1 game against the Nationals. (Today, Monday, June 6, he's in Springfield, IL, on his way to Lincoln, IL. About 240 miles still to go.)
America still has some pretty amazing folks.

That's cool.

With the NBA playoffs in full swing, there's been a lot of talk about Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns)... apparently he's a hell of a guy too. When he was in the olympics, he gave his coach $25k on the QT to give out to the non-NBA olympians so they could have some fun. I guess he does a lot for the community and charities too.

sherpa = those dudes that carry all the stuff up that really tall mountain
cabbie = those dudes that drives those cars downtown that try to run over bikers
prostrated = root 'prostrate' (probably spelt wrong) a prayer maneuver where you raise your hands to god then drop to your knee's then lunge forward and lay flat on the ground pull your self forward with your elbows then stand up in that spot then repeat till you get to where your going.
