Monday, July 16, 2007Make a choice.... A while back I gave a very modest amount of money to http://www.donorchoose.org/. It was such a small amount to me, I didn't give it a second thought after I hit the button . Much to my surprise when I walked in the house from a long day at MediaSauce (and Super Suppers) to find an envelop from them in my mailbox. I almost pitched it, because I didn't remember even donating! But WOW, what follow up by this company. I received a nice letter from the Executive Director of Donor Choose and then 3 letters and pictures from the kids that I bought books for! (they are from a school in NY) Myself and 2 other contributors received these great letters and I wanted to share with you a couple poems the kids wrote to us, the book they are reading is Iqbal, a story about children slave labor. If you are reading this, please make a choice today to give! "Torture in the Factory" Kneeling in the silent gloom Working swiftly at the loom Fingers blistered, fingers bleeding All the colored strings receding Torture in the Factory It's for them, not for me Jack Weave in Weave under NEVER let your mind wander for if you do you'll hear the crack of the whip and feel the pain of the sting and you'll scream a scream that will ring throughout the country and into the next but you'll NEVER know it's yours because your mind will be fixed on erasing your lines and boarding that ship and NEVER EVER looking back. Poem by Devan of Team Pleat

Another Sunday in the books.... My wife turned 40 a month ago. For weeks leading up to the "funeral party" she totally thought I was blowing off her birthday, to the point where I think she questioned whether I really cared.....ha. With 40 friends and relatives dressed in black, Vicki was successful surprised and walked in to her party to the guests singing Amazing Grace. This picture is priceless. Maggie learned what solemn was about 2 days early, and I told her to touch the picture and act that way..beautiful pic! Thoughts at random. I am swamped at MediaSauce, work work work. I am the old man there...unbelievable. Curt, I haven't forgotten you. My daughter is playing summer travel softball, I should get her July schedule shortly. Dan the man, I have been to Bremen 1 time in the last 7 months....What are you doing for the 4th? Want to come watch the fireworks in Bremen with us? 703rd MI BN, 732nd MI Brigade - comment on my posts....let me know where you are at. I have found Mitchum, Reynolds, Staker, Hirst and Hooch (Steve Holmes)....looking for Gemmill, St. Clair and others. Try to write more soon...have a great 4th of July everyone....remember, freedom isn't free, thank a soldier or military veteran this holiday season. posted by Odd Todd - One man, many dreams at
