EJ’s Car is Important. Katrina Relief is More Important.
EJ is a good man. He’s got a busted car in his driveway, and he was raising money to fix it. Instead of fixing his car, he’s asking that donations be made towards Katrina Relief. Please help.
Feeling Benevolent?
E.J.’s car has died. He’s using Fundable to raise the money to get it fixed. He has 15 contributors so far. 85 more, and he’s hit his goal. If he doesn’t hit his goal, all your money will returned. He’s only asking for $7.50 from each person. C’mon. Be a dear and donate a little moola. E.J.’s good people. I know he’d help me if I needed it. Go on!

Sheri’s Soycream Dream Benefit
OK, this is so cool. There’s a woman who sits at the counter of the Square Foods deli every day during the lunch hour. I’ve been going there a lot lately since I’m working so close by. Her name is Sheri, and she has Huntington’s Disease. Because I’m a psychologist, I thought she had Tourette’s. I guess you see what you know. Anyway, and I always sit and talk to her while I’m waiting for my order. She’s a real sweetheart. Every day, she eats half a pint of either soy or rice "ice cream." It’s her little thing she does! Since we talk a fair amount, I know her name is Sheri. I know everyone likes her. And I guess it was last week wh
en I finally asked her about her med-alert necklace and what it meant. We ended up having this really interesting conversation about Mohammed Ali. I got to see him when I sang for the Olympics. Man, that was cool. We didn’t know who would light the flame until that night, and even though I was on the other side of the stadium from him, I could tell who he was because of his Parkinson’s shake. And seeing him gave me this amazing chill. I mean, my hair stood on end! Anyway, I was in Square Foods a little late today just to get some of my Organic Lactose-Free Milk (hey, we all have our quirks), and I saw a sign on the front door:
Sheri’s Soycream Dream Benefit
Saturday, August 20, 2005 (Damn, I have to be in Nashville)
9pm at the Hi-Tone, $7
The Antique Curtains, Issen, Esque and DJ Scowl (aka Angry Bob).
Square Foods Benefit to raise money for a soy cream machine for Square Foods on Madison. A portion of the All profits raised through soy cream sales over the next year will be donated to the Huntington’s Disease Foundation.
What a brilliant idea! I wonder if Sheri was the one who thought of it.
There is nothing I love more than those kind of relationships… the people you meet at the bus stop, or at the cehckout counter, or the UPS man. Makes life so much better. I always feel kind of sorry for people who don’t "see" all those great people in the world. I will miss some of the colorful folks I’ve met here. Don the mailman. Sheri at Square Foods. And the security guard at UT who wears a regular security uniform but puts on her sunhat when she checks the parking lot.
OK BYE!
My Indian Lady is on her way home to Mumbai. 🙁
