Thanks. I thought there might not be. I mean, we know a lot about Foundation grants because they are disclosed on tax forms (go team 990-PF), but individual giving can be as private as an individual wants, so how would anyone collect anything comprehensive!?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Good luck, Amy! That would be great for you!
flea, your name popped up in the Northside weekly newsletter of events and stuff, for the workshop you did on Monday. (I know it was downtown, but the workshop still made it into the newsletter. The library puts a lot of stuff in there.) I was skimming through it and did a double-take. You're famous in Northside! (Well, okay, your workshop was listed in an email newsletter. But still!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, exactly. Figuring out a person's giving capacity and inclination is a whole lot of guesswork with Lexis-Nexis and annual reports and miscellaneous googling, as far as I can tell.

The person I was working with just now came to see me as a follow-up to my Monday workshop! I have a feeling it is going to be very good for my work statistics. (I had 43 people there, which is very high for a program for me.) It was all people from neighborhood associations, so I was standing in front of them thinking, "I should poll these people to ask them where I should live! But then, they would all say their own neighborhoods."

Good luck, Amy!
All of my plans for today just got derailed, because I need to stay home and keep an eye on Vlad to make sure he didn't poison himself. He knocked an empty bottle of laundry detergent onto the floor, the lid shattered, and he carted one of the pieces of plastic off to play with. He didn't eat it, and I'm 99% sure he didn't ingest any of the residue that might have been on the lid, but better safe than sorry.
Vlad, there is a reason we call you and your sister the Kittens of Chaos, but you don't have to live up to the title!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, Vlad...
~ma, Amy.
Consuela, get the Bee Flight!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Enjoy the dinner, and good luck with networking or whatever, Consuela! That view is amazing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Enjoy, Consuela!

I'm making baked avocados and eggs, which will be topped with thinly shredded roast beef. I will report back on this after lunch.
