Quiz Answers

Will nothing compel you people to De-LURK?

Here are the answers to Tuesday’s quiz:

1. What do SÅ‚awomir Skrzypek, the head of the Polish Central Bank, and I have in common? We both attended the University of Wisconsin – LaCrosse. He has an MBA, I have a BS.

2. When’s my Birthday? May 1, 1968

3. Name three teams that I hate above all others. Kudos to Tal for getting one! The New York Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys and the University of Michigan.

Have a great weekend!

Wednesday’s Worthy Cause

Sometimes I try to tune you, my beloved loyal readers, into opportunities to do something good. You are all multi-talented people and give so generously in so many ways – thank you!

Here’s another option: Warm Up America. This charity provides warm knitted and crocheted items to needy people. If you do this kind of thing, you can knit or crochet something as small as an afghan square or as big as a cap or a scarf. Just thought I’d put that out there.

Another worthy cause, of course, is us! I don’t know how to put it out there, but we’re hoping to add more kids – I know, I know – to the family later this year or early next year. Adoption is not an inexpensive process and we have set up a website – A Sister For Kostya – that links to an Amazon.com marketplace. If you buy through Amazon and access through this website, we get a percentage of what you spend put into our account. The funds will go toward adoption expenses. If anyone knows anything about legal, effective ways to raise adoption money, drop me a comment!

“What kind of milk? Goat’s Milk, Yak milk? Cow’s milk?”

“NO DADDY! REAL MILK!”

Monday…AGAIN!

Well, I think it goes without saying that the S.O.B. of the Week this week is Stephen Grant. How could you? I mean… just… HOW…COULD…YOU? It disgusts me on every single level. And, of course, since it happened in Michigan, it is constantly on the news disturbing not only me but also my two young sons. I hope you rot, sir, and never see your children again.

On to other topics, I apologize for not writing last week – in case you missed it. I know I have some readers (mostly lazy lurkers like me) but I don’t know what you’re in the mood for. I’ve been in quite a mood lately – it has been weeks of ups and downs, small victories and mixed emotions on many topics. I know you don’t care what I had for lunch, but do you come here to read of my angst in other areas? De-lurk! De-lurk I say! Tell me what you’re in the mood for!

Shall we play a round of Ask Me Anything? Shall I post my Undisputed Facts of Life or my NCAA Bracket predictions? Shall I post a “Do you know me?” type of thing or do I need to dig deeper to make this blog not suck. Let me know?

Curious about the WW? -7 thanks.
