Thursday Morning Musings, One Day Donation Edition

Good afternoon friends and family and others.

Here’s hoping that everyone has lasted this long in their weeks. If you’re a Monday to Friday, 9 to 5er you’ve only got one day left. Way to go.

Big wishes for a smooth day to E-ve who has class and then work. If she’s serving you dinner remember to tip well, she’s got tuition to pay.

The weather is nasty today. There’s a constant mist in the air and the clouds have rolled in to give us grey skies and gloomy people. There are lots of umbrellas out and about on the side walk helping folks stay dry. Big thanks to E-ve as I have her umbrella.

Just a gentle reminder to anyone using an umbrella today: You are sharing the sidewalk, and if you have a big umbrella it helps everyone if you can stay to one side of the sidewalk it would be appreciated. I walk faster than most people it seems and not being able to pass someone and their huge umbrella because they are ambling down the middle of the concrete path really gets my goat.

Busted out a great tie for work today. It’s a black number that has a wicked pattern. I haven’t had it on in quite some time, but I do like it a bunch. Big thanks to E-ve again because it was her find.

It’s day 19 of Movember and let me tell you, some of the moustaches out there are looking more and more awesome each day. Mine doesn’t even start to compete with some of the others I’ve seen in pictures and on the street. Well done gentlemen.

Here’s a great way to support a great cause today. The Princess Margaret Hospital is holding a one day fundraiser for its 1 Day Diagnosis Centre for Breast Cancer. They have made it crazy easy to make a donation. Send a text message to short code 30333 with the word “give” in the body. You will get a confirmation request back and you can reply to confirm your $5 donation. The other awesome thing, which may be even more awesome is that media mogul Allan Slaight will be matching all donations, made by any means, dollar for dollar. This has the opportunity to be a fundraiser that changes and saves lives. I encourage all of you to send one text message, add $5 to next month’s cell phone bill and help save a life.

Keep up the great work being great friends. You’re doing an awesome job.

Adios for now.

Like wham!
