I'll be the first to admit I'm in desperate need of good karma. You try spending your days making fun of those less fortunate and, soon enough, you'll wander the streets constantly looking up, wondering when a piano will fall on you. Kayak for a Cause is that saving grace. No matter how brutal I get, I can always fall back on being a co-founder of the event, and it helps me sleep well at night. Well, that and a nice mixture of Xanax and Tylenol PM.

Much as I asked last year, we're still looking for participants and volunteers. So if you feel like having a fun day out on the waters of Long Island Sound while simultaneously doing something good for someone else, we'd love to have you. And if you're lazy and want to throw money at the situation, we'll gladly take that too. And if that weren't enough, there's an after party on the beach featuring the incredibly talented Donavon Frankenreiter.
