On a serious note

I would be remiss if I did not mention the new arrival to my family. Sister in law Yan and JW proudly welcomed Zen to the world on Valentines Day. Congrats go to them and well wishes of a speedy recovery to the mama after surgery. Pics are posted on Wash's website (see link on the side). Sadly I shall not be able to contribute photos until sometime in May.

This blog is all about things that are important to me, so don't read if you don't care :)

First off, here's a link to my buddy Beth's website MS Walk


Take a look and see what you think. It's definitely a good cause to think about.
Also good places that mean a lot to me include the MSPCA and two local dog shelters, though I may revoke one of them if they don't acknowledge my contribution so I will have tax stuff. Instead the nearest and dearest cause can be accessed through the German Shepherd Rescue site. It is a truly heart wrenching story about Wade the white GS who has lived a very painful life, but continues to remain a joy to his foster family. Due to his medical and emotional issues he has been enrolled in doggie day care with his foster brother and this is a very expensive commodity. Any and all donations to this group are much appreciated and I know I shall be going to the site after my next check or after my tax refund, whichever comes first.


I'm sad to report that a MA senator has tried to introduce legislation requiring 12 year old girls to have the Gardacil vaccine. I think this is a mistake. Cervical Cancer is not a communicable disease, therefore the government should stay out of the whole debate. It is a choice that each individual family should have the ability to make.

Enough soapbox for me...until next time folks

hey i agree with you about this vaccine thing. talking about vaccine, Jude and I just got the flu shot so we would not get the newborn sick. Well, guess who has been sick for the past two weeks? Jude had a temperture of 103 and still has not recovered and I am starting to get sick as well. Jared is the only one who did not get the shot and is in good condition... I tell you these vaccines I don't trust them.
