I had to work today, so I didn’t have a particular project for the MLK Day of Service. But just so you don’t think I am a slacker, I will have you know that I am scheduled for stuff with Project Linus, the Refuge… Continue Reading “Day of Service and Blanket Two”
Book 2 I remember The Time Traveler’s Wife as a book that had a lot of potential that it didn’t quite fulfill. It built this really interesting world and then ditched what I thought were more interesting themes in favor of a love story.… Continue Reading “Her Fearful Symmetry, by Audrey Niffenegger”

So here is what I wrote last year and how it went: At the Refuge, we have all agreed that we need to start organized fundraising efforts. I spent a few hours researching grants that might be available. Of course, I’ll have to learn… Continue Reading “Goal Check – 2011”
