The house is normal again.

The lights are down and put away till Thanksgiving '08. Yippee!!!!

i gotta say i am bummed to learn it appears a blogger/spammer jumped on to my comments area from the last post. My apologies, if anybody saw this. Truthfully, i am not afraid of a little advertising and would gladly promote anybody's legitimate relationship based work/career/business as somebody bitten by the self-employed bug....fer instance check out the little "linked in" button but....

just tell me first and let me decide if i think it is appropriate.... like....

need a flute player for a Jethro Tull tribute band????....i gotta guy for you.

Anyway, back to the lights, i love how the house feels bigger without a tree in the middle of the largest room in the house.

and speaking, err, typing of houses. Rarely has my blog drifted into humanitarian thing, but as a rotarian it is soetimes hard to explain what Rotary International does and why me, an self-admitted liberal joined what is commonly preceived as a business persons lunch group...

Please take three minutes, and this will help explain....



Unfortunately, the video doesn't go into details about what is in the box other than a 10 person tent. Water purification tablets, blankets, tools, multi-fuel portable stove, utensils, even small books and crayons for children are included, the actual box itself is a great storage unit and is also water-tight.

Shelterboxes are used worldwide regardless of political or religious views. Where a need exist, even in the Untied States after Katrina to provide relief while people waited for their FEMA trailers.

Anyway, back to the more cynical stuff later and maybe a post about fitness.

Thanks for reading

I loveloveloveloveLOVE getting all the holiday crap put away. I'm always so excited to get stuff out over Thanksgiving weekend, but come Dec. 26th (or thereabouts) I want all that stuff GONE! You're right, it just feels fresher and more open without all the hoopla all over.

Hey, do me a favor and check your Comcast email account. I sent you a link to a fellow blogger (and Rotarian) who is spending a month in India for the Rotary Club. You may enjoy reading her adventures...

Yes, the Rotarians historically have a bad rap...at least if you read any Sinclair Lewis who seems to delight in taking pot shots at them. There is no doubt, however, the org does a lot of good. Keep up the good work.

All quiet on the Eastern Michigan Front. Hope things are well.
