Caravan4Christmas

So are you wondering how you could help some of the people most seriously affected by Katrina? How about making sure all the homeless kids from the region have a terrific Christmas? That's Law-Rah's plan -- she's abandoning her blog for now to start a new project, and it looks like it could be a big one.

Say hello to Caravan4Christmas:

Instead of writing a check to one of the numerous charities, I intend to put my money to a different use. I am going to rent a truck and drive a “Caravan 4 Christmas” to those most affected by Hurricane Katrina. I am willing to rent the largest truck I can find if you are willing to help me fill it. If I can get people to help out and we can make this effort as big as possible, I firmly believe we will be able to make a difference this holiday season.

Law-Rah's already getting lots of support on the project but she's depending on getting everyone she can to participate to make this as successful as possible. At this point there's no address to which you can send gifts or toys or whatever, but I'm guessing that will come soon. Just watch the Caravan4Christmas blog for more details as they develop and let Law-Rah know if you think of ways you could help out.

OMG: I'm Really Running A Marathon!

It's now less than two months away! This Sunday we'll be running 23 miles (although for various reasons I might only do 20) and in a couple of weeks we're supposed to run a complete “practice” marathon before we sort of relax for the week or two before the real deal. Is it just me, or is this all rather hard to believe? ;-)

p.s.: I know if you're inclined to give to good causes Katrina is at the top of your list right now, but [nevermind. This has been edited to comply with commercial restrictions].
