Worthy Organizations for Holiday Giving
According to a friend of mine, nearly 40% of all non-profits may go out of business in the next 18 months. This time of year in particular is where many charitable organizations "make it or break it." I blogged my frustrations in my Strib blog this morning. So, let us know: which organizations are a) the most effective and b) in the most need of help.
Day Off/On
Today is one of those odd holidays. Some people have the day off, others must work. Restaurants are clearly open, but school is closed. There's no real celebration or gift-giving or feast involved, but because it's an election year, maybe we should spend some time thinking about President's Day.
Or maybe we should buy a German sausage rug.
Or we could check out what Andrea Strong has to say about the New York food scene on her new blog.
Balls of Bourbon
Been a bit boozy lately, haven't I?
Well, it is the season of holiday parties, family gatherings, and all manner of cold-weather frolic that can be greatly enhanced by hot cocoa with a "bump"...
It's Nana's fault.
The old girl was a former society debutante who started smoking when she was a Campfire Girl and cocktailed promptly at 4pm until the day she died at the ripe ol' age of 90.
Cookie Party
Do you have a cookie party in your future?
Is there a massive plan afoot to organize friends/co-workers/relatives/cellmates for a gathering in which an inordinate amount of cookies is exchanged?
I have a love/hate thing going for the cookie party. The premise is a bit appealing, bake dozens of one kind of cookie and bring it to a social gathering where there will be dozens of other cookies for which you make an even swap: Ta-daa, now for the price of one recipe, you have a huge variety of cookies.
But (and here comes the Scroogey part) most of them suck.
T-Day: Eight Days Out
It's go time.
