My Dad leaves tomorrow for Herat on a 18-week stint with Sheladia Associates as part of a water resources management and development program. Some safety~ma and success~ma would be welcome.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Happy March!
Donors Choose is running a March Match Madness campaign. For every donation made through a teacher's personal page, they will match it. I have a grant I'm trying to fund for some math texts (seriously!) for my academic decathlon team/class. Buffistas have always been exceedingly generous; if you have a few dollars to spare, I'd love the support. We are ~$100 away from our goal. Please donate!
My page is www.donorschoose.org/kgullo. Thanks!

It's been a while since I had some good news to post here, and while this isn't a permanent job... at least it's a job, and should be interesting for six weeks: I'll be starting training for a US Census enumerator on March 24th, and should be working through April.

Second call for donations to SOAR to help my sister jump out of a plane! The deadline for pledges is March 15th:
On April 24, 2010, I will be participating in the nation's boldest, highest-altitude, and most daring effort to put an end to sexual assault. It's called Operation Freefall: The Two-Mile High Stand Against Sexual Assault®.
I will join thousands of people at drop zones across the country who will take to the sky and jump. Their goal: to raise funds to help survivors throughout the healing process and increase awareness about sexual assault.

Thank you all for the wonderful fruit basket!
(For some reason, the card was behind the packing materials folded into the packing slip, so I had no idea who sent it until I was separating the packaging out into recyclable and non!)

Didn't hear back when I asked the question in Natter, so I'm going to assume it's ok.
My husband's group has set up an account for the nearly 100 unemployed service industry people who worked at the places that burned down Tuesday. Donations may be made at any Share Plus Federal branch. Account is totally transparent to any who ask to see activities/balances. Account #3049710.
At $500, he'll put it in the local account that was set up by the bank across the street from the businesses and start over.
