 Bear on the run

Kendall The Complete Bear: 2007 Best of the Bears - Bear Performer. Congratulations!

Kendall: Thanks. I am really flattered that people like what I do. There are so many people doing great things, it's an honor to be out there working with them.

The Complete Bear: You were part of last year's Bears on the Run tour. How was that?

Kendall: It was an amazing experience. We played 13 venues over three weeks.

The Complete Bear: How did the tour come together?

Kendall: A bunch of us were at Bearpalooza and thought "Gee, we should take this on the road!" Really, Shannon O'Grady and Mathew Temple did all the heavy lifting. Mathew temple is amazing. We call him Dad on the tour; he is a mesmerizing folk artist. This year we will be back with a slightly shorter tour of 9-10 venues wrapping up with a benefit concert for Bear Café NYC. And there's a Bears on the Run CD on the way. I don't want to give too much away, but Bobaloo sings. LOGO is co-sponsoring the next leg of the Bears on the Run tour and will be running commercials for the tour.

 A Sad Cub
 

Doom and Gloom Aww, has cubby been a little mopey lately? He's not alone! According to MSNBC.com, a British psychologist has determined this is the most depressing time of the year. He has derived a calculation that determined January 24th is the worst of the worst.

The model is: [W + (D-d)] x TQ/M x NA

The equation is broken down into seven variables: (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action.

In my mind, the January Effect is a combination of broken resolutions and a post-holiday letdown.

Oh yeah, and if you are reading this - you've survived the most depressing day of the year!

 It's cold out there . . .

Denali Throw Whether you're freezing your butt in Sheboygan or shoveling snow in Buffalo - it's cold out there!

Softer and warmer than fleece, these unique throws are made from an innovative fabric twenty years in the making. Called Microplush®, this hi-tech pile fabric is knitted with a very fine denier acrylic fiber making it light, soft and comfortable to touch. Machine washable, Microplush® is naturally water resistant, colorfast and stain, odor and mildew resistant. Denali Microplush® throws are said to "feel like a hug".

Denali's fine acrylic MicroPlush bedding is machine washable and made in the USA. Denali uses a 60" center of patterned fabric with coordinating solid color drops on each side. Our bedspreads are then backed in a coordinating solid fabric.

What a wonderful way to end your day...in the warmth of Denali bedding.

Well that and a fuzzy husbear!
