Haiti sounds devastating

I donated $20 to disaster relief efforts in Haiti and encourage you to consider it as well. It's sad that our first donation of the year is to assist in such appalling circumstances. I can't imagine what it must be like to go through such a damaging earthquake-- or to be an aggrieved family member in the US with no word and no information other than what surfaces daily.

Oh Philippines, you do me proud!

As you can see from this link, the Philippines stole the show for community participation in this year's annual Earth Hour, which is going on right now.

(I wonder if having your computer on counts? I'm home alone, what else am I going to do by candlelight? I'm not very good at knitting yet...)
