Appetitie & Attitude, a new video about Lance

[sarida]

Hi Y'all,

To my squealing delight yesterday's mail brought Northern Light Media's new video, Appetite & Attitude. I couldn't get it opened and into the DVD player fast enough. I watched it straight through, then microwaved some dinner and watched it again.

For die hard Lance fans, like myself, its mesmerizing. Its like having a long, fireside conversation with him. Its almost like being there in person. Prehaps its even better, because there are no distractions. He is amazingly candid and open. He offers up insights about the sport that few of us would imagine. He tells us a lot about his own thinking and how he processes observations of dog and musher behaviors.

He gives us the history of mushing in his family, his dad's early endeavors with dogs and how he built his teams. Lance talks about how he and Tonya started their lives together on a beach in the Kenai Peninsula and how the dogs returned to his life. He talks about the cancer and the long term effects of the treatment. This video allows us unprecedented access into Lance's life, intimate, hilarious, heartfelt, determined, and truely dogged.

This is not a critical review. This is South-Paw Sarida telling all those Lance Mackey fans on the list to go as quickly as you can to Northern Light Media's site and order this video!

Thank you Donna, Helen, Teresa and everyone involved in the production of this work. I will be living in anticipation until part 2. I hope in the next video we will get to see more of the dogs and watch that Mackey Magic with them.

Now, onto the All Alaska Sweepstakes.......

Sarida! Where have you been this season?!? We have missed your mushing adventures! We actually were in SA last weekend, and did the mission trail (all but the Alamo) which DH has never seen. It was HOT! Thanks for the heads up on the video, too.

Hi Flowerpower,

Last weekend I was in La Villita helping with the St Patrick's Day parade and promoting the SA Highland Games at the Alamo Irish Festival. I'm the president of the Highland Games which are Apr 5 & 6. So, I've been busy with organizing duties. I've followed the Iditarod, but not had much time to chat or post many comments. I will be following the All Alaska this week. But I'll not be writing much until after the Games.

Come on down for the Games. Check us out at http://www.sahga.org

Wow, looks like great fun! I have always wanted to go to Scotland, maybe I will pop up for a bit when I go and cook some chili for Team Tangles! Wish we could go, unfortunately, we are committed to a microchip clinic that weekend for my rescue group.

Old school match: ***** Mackey. Lance's father helped found the Iditarod and is the only musher to win the race in a photo finish (1978).
old school match from the above article ill bet lance got a kick out of being compared to his dad cool
