Sadness!

I am very sad about My Beloved Patriots losing to the Colts. I am not thrilled with Payton Manning and his ever present mug all over every commercial, but I discovered something when I was watching them play the Ravens - I like the Colts better than I like the Ravens. I can stand watching Mr. Clean Cut Manning MUCH better than looking at Mr. Murderer Ray Lewis. So - Okay - Go Colts!

My Beloved Patriots

I am still hoarse from yelling and jumping and yelling and biting my nails and ... I am so energized about the Patriots moving on in the playoffs! In Tom We Trust! How about this commercial from Troy Brown?

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

On May 5 - 6, 2007, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of other people, in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I will walk at least the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and I may choose to walk as far as a marathon and a half. I will also raise at least $1,800 in donations to the cause. I'll have to spend the next few months training, fundraising, and preparing for the event. It's one of the biggest challenges I've ever taken on, but I'm very excited about doing it because I know it will make a real difference to the millions of people affected by breast cancer.

The money raised is managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity with a mission is to fund access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer. The Avon Foundation funds both local and national organizations in five key areas: medical research’, education and early detection programs; clinical care; and support services, all with a focus on the medically underserved.

Rough Winter In Kabul

Winter in Kabul - Who knew this were the conditions that Afghans and our Soldiers are operating in? I haven't seen anything on TV about this. In New England we are enjoying a very mild winter - Let's not forget our Soldiers.
