3-Days To Fight Cancer

A very good friend of mine, Gretchen Chapin, has taken on a new challenge. She along with 2 other incredible women have volunteered to walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

Of course the primary objective is to raise money. If you'd be interested in supporting please see the link below:

Given the current economic climate it may not be possible to give money but remember that donating your contacts by posting a bulletin, blog or email may prove to be more beneficial than any gift of money. I appreciate you taking the time to consider supporting this cause as I'm sure Gretchen and her team are as well.

I pay. You pay. We ALL pay. Good or Bad?

I've commented before on the intellectual horse power of you, my faithful readers. Now I'd like to challenge your opinions in an attempt to 1)Learn something myself from you and 2) open constructive dialog on an important topic that I feel we as 20 and 30 somethings really need to understand.

The question is simple. Is single-payer healthcare good for our great country or not? (check the poll to the right)

I haven't seen the movie Sicko yet, but I will just to understand what Michael Moore is spinning on the subject. Please understand that it's also our obligation to understand the opposing argument then make our decision based on those opinions, facts and personal beliefs.

Here's a link to an article in the Toledo City Paper, a free publication we get down here in T-Town similar to Real Detroit and MetroTimes.

I am anxious to read your thoughts.

Welcome home, Chris!

I thank God for answered prayers. My brother is safely home from his 1^st of 2 tours to Iraq. He’ll be here in Michigan in a few weeks, but just knowing he’s back in Cali is a huge relief for me and my family.

For now I'll leave my political opinions out of this post. Let's just say opinions can change when the reality of others' decisions hit close to home. I know many of you have friends and/or family serving in the armed forces. Lets not forget to thank them for the work they're doing to preserve our way of life.
