I have never blogged before, I am not even sure if I am now. I saw you on t.v. and for reasons beyond my understanding I checked out your site. Then when I read about your back problems I knew why . I had my second operation in 4 years on L5-S1 , Feb 14th 2002. After a year on the floor recovering I finally admitted to myself my life as I knew it was gone forever. I had a wonderful life traveling the world as a Rep. in the golf business before the clock of my life would wind no longer I would like to know what type of rehab you did, and do now. How you are able to deal with the pain, and still dance. I loved dancing and playing golf, traveling the world learning about new cultures. Seeing how a love for a sport such as golf could bring people from around the world that speak different languages and coming from different social standings together. How this amazing shared understanding for golf could cross all those barriers to form lasting relationships and understanding for my fellow man. I miss that I have lost and would try anything for a chance to return to the dream I once lived. Hope you feel better, try some Grand Mariner with honey and lemon, heated and sipped slowly in front of a fireplace before bed. Cleveland Kristin,

I was lucky enough to attend the TED conference last year because my partner was a presenter, and now I just started freelance editing their TEDtalks from 2005. It's such insiring material to work with! I just finished cutting Arthur Benjamin, a "mathmagician." He should be online soon and I recommend watching him--he's brilliant and hilarious. I hope you're feeling better, Monica Yay TED!

That application that he was using looked amazing too. Did he say that it would be available on the UN Website? i looked around but couldn't find it anywhere... perhaps i was mistaken. his whole point that the seemingly impossible is possible has a direct corolation (obviously) to live theater. what the audience sees on stage seems barley possible sometimes, yet it happens, and is astounding when it does. You get inspired by those moments. he laid it all out so brilliantly. great post Kristin, thanks.
