Hi everybody! I am once again riding my bike 140 miles over a weekend this May to raise money for Moveable Feast of Maryland. Moveable Feast provides meals and nutritional support (and MANY other services) to people living with HIV/AIDs and breast cancer.
This year my fundraising goal is $1300 which will feed one Moveable Feast client for a year. Please help me reach that goal if you are able.

Buffistas have been super generous in the past! No surprise! Thank you all.
It's truly official. I'm moving to Vermont mid-end of April. I've given notice at work, I've got an apartment. I'm going to be in the same state the man I love is in. I can't wait
Requesting some ~ma for my new book submission. It's out with six publishers right now and I'm really, REALLY hoping someone loves it. Like, a LOT.
FiL update: After exactly three weeks in the hospital, Dad was released today and better still, rather than being sent to a rehab facility, as had been previously considered, he was sent straight home! He's still going to have a few weeks and maybe even months before he's back to full strength, but of all possible outcomes, this was absolutely the best one!
Thanks so much for the ~ma, y'all. Much, much appreciated!
My friend T (who I posted about before, with her baby being born with CHD and having get stay in the NICU till he has open-heart surgery in 6 weeks) is being born today via C-section.
-ma, please, for Levi and family, that everything goes well, and that he won't present any of the other numerous complications they won't know about until after he's out.
Thanks!
Much ~ma to T, Levi and the family.
And now, dear all, I present you: Nilly's son.
Cutiehead Nilly-son! Congratulations!
Chicago-istas, dinner/drinks/whatever this Friday, April 1st. No fooling. F2F for discussion.
FYI, T and G's baby Levi was born this morning and weighs 8 lbs, 5 oz.
They are doing genetic tests, and are going to insert a cardiac catheter, but he's big and loud and things look as well as they can right now!
Thanks for the -ma!
I am getting rid of my TiVo. It's a series 2, and works fine: I just never use it. There's a wifi receiver, and the subscription is just under $14 a month. I call it Rosie (because I name thing), and it's free to a good home. Profile email is good.
