Haiti Relief

It's amazing - all the support that has been given from the world.

I'm wondering how much of the money donated to the various large non-profit organizations will actually make it to the people of haiti.

Consider donating to an organization like the CRUDEM Foundation

Seems like forever

With Facebook and Twitter it seems like forever - since my last post - I'm headed off to CA for a couple days later this month - and I'm thinking I will catch up on posting things I've been thinking about lately.

We'll just have to wait and see what my squash will think of ....
