AIDS Walk San Diego Please Donate!

I'm walking in AIDS Walk again this year for my 4th year in a row. I've raised close to $7000 for local HIV and AIDS services over the last four years via AIDS Walk San Diego, but they can always use more.

The event is on September 28th and I hope you'll reach down in your pocket and pluck out a buck or ten or twenty or whatever you can afford. Any donation is welcome. It would mean a lot. Thank you!

The Moment of Truth

Joelle said around lunch time on October 8, 2007

The Moment of Truth

So… it’s here!  I just opened up this box with Kathy on the phone and the book exists in the form of… well, a real book and not just a bunch of Word documents full of chicken scratch.

I’m trying to get work done today and not get distracted by it, but it’s so shiny!  (No, really, it is.  The silhouette and the title are embossed and glossy and everything else is matte.)

I’m very excited. I am very, very excited.

Congratulations!  I looked for it just an hour ago at Borders and Barnes & Noble. Nothing there yet.  I settled for The Country Cooking of France by Anne Willan. Good luck with the book, I’m excited for you.

Many congrats to you both. You give this wannabe designer some hope that I can remember how to do rollovers in Image Ready in no time (nothing like forgetting while under the wire at work).
