In any event, if you did not receive the email, it [...]
I first became aware of Jan Cartledge and her band of folks via the internet when I was ranting last fall over a local church and how they chose to spend almost two million dollars. Since then we have kept up a correspondance, she and her husband Tony helped serve drinks at our bash on [...]

Today, I spent the afternoon helping a 55 year-old man move his worldly possessions from a mini-storage unit to the rooming house room he rents. There is so much I could say about the experience and the lessons that could be derived from it, but the biggest thing that hit me was that here we [...]
