HurriCaine Cortellino Paddles for Hearts!

Howdy! I've been slacking from this blog and I apologize to any and all who check in to look at it. Between Ivan, Charley, Frances, Zell, the Halls of Academia AND some crazy bat-shit stuff that went down last week - I haven't really had much inclination to sit down and write anything - I'm sure you understand.

Now, that said, here's the skinny.

My former congressional candidate and good friend, Caine Cortellino, has cooked up a fun adventure for himself after our loss. He is going to Kayak starting next Thursday from Key West Florida to Savannah. I'd be right there with him if I wasn't previously engaged to five classes. He is raising cash for the American Heart Association here in Savannah. This ran in yesterday's Savannah Morning Newspaper:

A new way to raise Caine?

Remember Caine Cortellino?

The Savannah lobbyist was one of three also-rans in the July 20 Democratic primary election for the 12th Congressional District won by Barrow.

Cortellino soon will be sea-kayaking 670 miles from Key West, the length of the Florida and Georgia coasts, back to Savannah.

The trek, due to start Sept. 23, is intended to benefit the American Heart Association.
He says the trip is dedicated to all heart disease victims, and especially James W. Moss, who died in June and is survived by his brother, Savannahian Roger Moss.

Donations are being solicited on a per-mile basis with multiple levels of giving.
People interested in contributing can contact the Heart Association at 790-2900.
Cortellino's goal? $20,000.

So I say GOOD LUCK Caine, steer to the western edge of the hurricanes eye (least dangerous part) and keep the wind at your back!

There will be a web site up soon and I will link it.
