Mutually Helpful

The car behind us was parked so bad today that one of the city’s sidewalk snow-remover got stuck and the only way to get it out was to move our car. So we got to work, helped by the city’s employees. I wish they got stuck every winter morning, it’d be so much easier/faster to get the kids to school. ;)

Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul


Skateistan is one of my favorite causes to support. One could argue there are better ones out there, but this one is near and dear to my heart.

There’s nothing like watching an Afghan woman go down a ramp for the first time and she’s achieved something that she never thought she would.

Visit skateistan.org for more information, and please give generously. And if you need something to “show for it”, they have some nice t-shirts. Always makes a great holiday present. :)
