September 3

Labor Day.  A day for lazy people to take the day off, nurse their hangovers, sleep until noon and celebrate how hardworking our society has become.  Don't want to sound like I'm complaining or anything; I love sleeping until 8:00 a.m. on a Monday.  I joined my boss for a 5 k walk for charity Saturday morning, "Out of Darkness"  It's an organization that fights sexual predators & human trafficking here in the U.S.  You would be surprised how many women  & even small children are victims.  I got up at 4:00 in the morning to meet her since it was way across town.  I didn't raise that much money, but I think she did, so it was all worth while.  This fall I will be participating in the 5 k walk for AIDS research, like I do every October, I suppose I need to start doing some fundraising for that.  I've never been very good at asking people for donations, I would honestly rather just write a check myself.
