We felt like before the season started, leaving out all the injuries, we felt like we were going to be a pretty good team. We started out slow due to injuries. It kind of set us back a little bit.

We were hungry, and we were really confident and went 5-1.

One of the features of our annual meeting is that all the members gather in person to have face-to-face discussions about such subjects as breeding policies, canine health issues and testing programs.

Likewise, there have been some useful debates on how to sanction any breeders who have dogs with serious genetic defects.

You don't learn charm. It's not something that you can acquire. I have used it much in my life with great success, but it's not necessarily what makes me an actor.

A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

We strongly urge Senators from both the Democratic and Republican Party to pass AB 1207 and then for Governor Schwarzenegger to sign it into law.
