I TEACH-A YOU DE ENGLISH!!!

I want to thank everyone who donated yesterday in response to my plea (as well as, of course, those who donated earlier). The fundraising is looking up a little bit, though I'm still a couple hundred shy of my goal. Help me rectify this; go to bensmsride.com and donate while there's still time.

While we're here, I'd like to thank Calamity Jon who is donating his time and effort by selling original artwork toward the cause. If you go there and buy a piece, the money goes straight to the National MS Society. I can't recommend it enough. In fact, when Jon has done this in the past, I've even bought a piece or two. There's one up in the nursery right now, hanging o'er the crib. How does that make you feel, Jon? Drawing for little kids, that is. My daughter is going to spend a lot of time in her formative years staring at your rooftop rabbit.

You know how to tell that it's MS ride season? There's a hurricane on the way. I mean, not that we haven't done the City to Shore through a hurricane before, but I'd just rather not do it again is all.
