Every year, the folks at AbsoluteGoo hold an online auction to benefit Compass House , a shelter and resource center for homeless and at-risk youths in Buffalo, NY. This is a charity the Goo Goo Dolls endorse, and they usually donate some items to the auction. This year, the cream of the crop is a telephone call from the Goo Goo Doll of your choice! Let's not forget the autographed "Gootar," amongst many other items. Less than two weeks to go before bidding begins.... After several years of working for the Federal Government in the Washington, DC, area, I burned out on the congestion and stress inherent to living around 95 and The Beltway. So, I headed for the hills and reconnected with family I'd been away from for way too long. Eventually, I'd like to head out to the Pacific Northwest. In the meantime, I'm working part-time and volunteering with one of the local animal shelters. I'm also working on my fixer-upper of a house, learning a lot about home repair in the process, being compelled financially to doing a lot of the work on my own.
Background Photo: This is a photo I took of the Hunter's Moon from late October 2007. At this time, the moon was very close to the earth.
The Cost of War: Sadly, the number has gone up since I took this photo last October ('08)
My Interests
I'd like to meet:
Old friends that I haven't seen in a long time. I'm told many of them are on Facebook, so I'm going to have to create a page over there too...sigh....
