    Kids For Sports

    What an exciting day and time to be here in America, isn't it! I think it's an amazing moment and I had tears in my eyes as Barack Obama was elected president of the country. I had tears in my eyes. I have to say I thought his speech was great. I'm just really proud. I'm proud we had the chance to vote and a majority of us did.

    Other exciting news to report, our Halloween was a smashing success! We had an unbelievable Halloween. I was a basketball player -- a retro 70's Knicks player with the big hair and the old retro outfit and all that. My husband was a ref. He just literally took a black outfit and put masking tape lines on it. So he wasn't a ref for basketball, just a ref in general. He kept calling lots of fouls called on me. And you'll remember that Skye was a bumblebee and Spider was a dinosaur.

    We went trick-or-treating in our great neighborhood. You know you open up the door and you hear kids for blocks and blocks just screaming and having a ton of fun. That's why I love Halloween so much!

    Just another quick note I wanted to share... I was L.A. a few days ago for Kids for Sports, a group that came out of the L.A. 84 Foundation. Essentially it puts equipment and financial assistance in the hands of inner city and underprivileged kids so they can have a chance at sports. You don't have to be the gold medalist or the world champ to get something out of sports. There are so many great things we all can take from sports.

    It really helps these kids and that's why I go and support them as best I can. It's a great organization and they honor somebody every year and this year they honored me. So I gave a little speech. It was great and I got to hang out with one of my best friends because she came to. She's just as passionate about sports as I am.

    So remember to keep playing, keep loving the game and always have fun!
