Hi All,
Help Going To The Rescuers win a $10,000 grant!
I am working with a dog rescue organization based out of Perry NY that pulls dogs from high kill shelters and finds homes for them. We would like to open a shelter of our own and could really use the grant money offered in the contest. You can vote once every day through 4/18. I hope I can count on your support.
Vote for us at www.theanimalrescuesite.com and we could win $10,000 to help pets in need.
The Animal Rescue Site is hosting a special challenge for eligible Petfinder.com member shelter and rescue groups. The grand prize is a $10,000 grant, and they will be awarding many other grants to rescue groups with the most votes — a total of $100,000 in grants for animal welfare organizations.
Think how many animals we could help for $10,000!
Help us win! All you have to do is click to help rescued animals, and then vote in The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter⁺ Challenge. Both of these actions are absolutely free!

Dave said something that cost me a 1/2 hr of editing

Though I should be finished with episode 15 at this point I’ve got about 8 minutes of episode 10 recorded.  Stuff happens.  In this case I knocked down work light that had a halogen squiggly shaped bulb encased in a floodlight bulb.  The floodlight outer casing got smashed but, the interior bulb kept lighting.  Finding the offending word recorded over each of 15 or so tracks was a bit of a chore and took me longer than cleaning up the broken glass.

A neatness has been committed against the sanctified dust of my basement.  The dust got it’s revenge by spewing forth a cloud of mold spores and other putrid particulates thus reducing the perpetrator of this act into a sneezing fit and forcing him to find fresher air outside it’s hallowed door.  This change will undoubtedly change the character of this venue but, it will make it a lot easier to move around and possibly allow more people to fit.

I’m still working on my New Year’s resolution and I might need to simplify my life. I just added another media outlet to my life and I’m having trouble servicing the one’s I already have. The blog is something I really enjoy and has the benefit of having a way of letting me know how many people visit it each day. I don’t know what pure volume is but, I’m on it now. Hopefully, it’s something I can just set up and ignore. I really regret not putting stuff on Ustream at least once a week and I don’t know if I’ll get another show up on time for next Thursday on the Cable station and I really want to produce a new CD before March.

Happy December 26th and may it be one of the laziest days of your year.If you’re anything like me, your spent and every last bit of energy has been used up. There’s nothing to do except relax and ponder a new year.  Then again, there’s pondering the old year and of course there’s the dilemma of whether the last year was half full or half empty; it was what it was.  I did a lot of stuff and didn’t do a lot of stuff I wanted to do.  I also did a lot of  stuff  I didn’t want to do.  Which brings me to the annual pondering of  a new year’s resolution.  The most profound one I ever attempted to fulfill was finishing every beer I started.  I did all right that year until August and I left a grand total of 2 bottles half finished.  I think I’ll learn from this and not make any resolutions that encompass absolutes.  A new year’s resolution should be easy to carry through.  I resolve in 2010 not to attempt the impossible.
