Kevin landis

The argument for optimism is stronger today than it was a year ago. I'm happy having most of my money invested in tech.

The nice thing is, because the movie has been a success, there's the occasional party, the occasional premiere, opening. I see a lot of Kevin and Annette. Annette is pregnant so I haven't seen her that much, but Kevin is a one-man publicity machine for this movie. He's unbelievable -- I mean, how does he have the energy? Annette can't really fly, and they just ask her about (her husband) Warren (Beatty) the entire time, but Kevin has been on the campaign trail.

In the Middle East, they're being compressed, catapulted through the same debates that tore American society over decades in a short period of time. And the stakes are very high.

I thought it was great; every race doesn't have to be an epic death march. It was an exceptional course that made for exceptional racing. The top 10 was tightly packed (only 1:58 separated Landis from No. 10 finisher Jason McCartney of Discovery Channel). It made things more exciting; it added to the drama.

Love, it is what it is. It's everything. Everything.
