Please Support Me!

I am proud to let you know that I will be walking in
the America's Walk for Diabetes fund-raising event to
benefit the American Diabetes Association. The event
is THIS Saturday, which means I'm getting a very late
start on my fundraising and I need your help!

You can help by supporting my fund-raising efforts
with a contribution. Did you know that more than 18
million Americans suffer from diabetes and another 20
million are at risk for developing diabetes? Your gift
can make a difference.

As many of you know, I've lost a dear friend to this
silent killer, and I know from speaking to friends
since then that many of us have loved ones currently
living with the disease. So please consider helping
out.

The event is in less than a week, so if you are able
to donate, please don't delay. No amount is too small!


It is fast and easy to support this great cause. You
can make your donation online by clicking the link at
the bottom of this message. If you want to do even
more to help, please consider joining me in this great
event. Our efforts will help set the pace in the fight
against diabetes.

I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you
posted on my progress. Thank you very much!

snips and snails and puppy dog tails

I like that I got to pull out a sweater today and wear it to work. I also like that it's not going to be over 90 again for the rest of the year. I don't like that Ohio State got spanked by Penn State this weekend. I like basil and ripe red tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. I like croissants. I like the sound of shattered glass. I don't really like barbeque sauce. And I think that olives are sort of gross. And I hate the sound of styrofoam rubbing against styrofoam, it gives me goosebumps. I like sending emails. I like receiving emails. But I really like sending and receiving postcards, but it's a lot more fun when you're someplace interesting, or you know someone going somewhere cool. Sometimes I even like writing letters, but despite my rather neat penmanship, I prefer typing. I like that I went for a rather long run yesterday, over an hour, and I sort of liked "Insomnia" (the Swedish film), but I don't like that I didn't get as much work done as I should have. I like that the Yankees lost and the Browns won this weekend. I still don't like that the Indians failed to make the playoffs. I like laughing with others. I like being alone. I'm not sure I like how my apartment is decorated, but I'm not sure I care enough to spend the energy to change it. I'm not sure I like that about me, though. I like four day work weeks as much as I like the long weekend. I like glassware. I didn't really like "Confederacy of Dunces" but I am enjoying "Winter of Our Discontent." I like my new printer, and don't like that I still don't have my iPod from FedEx.
