Two Plugs and an Interview

One (singular sensation)

Over in the land of
Milk & Honey, Sarah has set herself a lofty goal. She is planning to participate the Breast Cancer 3-day this fall. This 60-mile walk to raise awareness about the life threatening disease is also a way to raise funds for research and thus raise hopes of finding a cure for Breast Cancer.

I had the honor, the joy and the pain of doing such a thing when Arizona hosted its first 3-day walk in 2004. It was a tremendous affair and I look forward to someday repeating the adventure. I would do it again. It was that worth it.


Part of the requirement for participation in a 3-day walk is a commitment from each walker to raise a minimum of $1000 for the Susan G. Komen foundation. Give or take a few bucks.
Milk & Honey has set out to raise $5000. You could help her reach that goal. Why not click here right now and make a donation? You'll be glad you did.

Two (toot tootsie)

Mimi Lenox
is working to make the blogosphere a peaceful place this coming Wednesday. Her campaign Blog Blast for Peace is asking bloggers to unite and post on the topic of PEACE for June 6, 2007. All of the details regarding the day can be found at her site. Also at her place are instructions on how you can make your own Peace Globe and display it proudly on Wednesday. Or before if you want to. Come on then, I've show you mine. Now, you show me yours.



Three (is a crowd)

My expatriate status was somehow exposed (could it be the masthead on my main page?) and I was found out this week by an author at this blog who asked if I would join the brigade at the expatriate interviews page. Of course, I said yes. There is just something so sweetly narcissistic about it, the talking about myself over and over again. At any rate, I sent in my answers to her questions and a couple of pictures for added fun. Ultimately, my interview will appear somewhere on this page. If you are dying for a direct link, tell me so and I will follow up when I have it. In reality this paragraph is not just a reporting, but also a plug in and of itself, as they also welcome unsolicited interviews. Therefore, you darling expat readers? You too could wax poetic about yourself and answer a dozen questions about how you live. Why not, I say. Why not?

My apologies to any expat readers new friends of mine, whom I neglected to plug in the above. An oversight, I assure you. Please tell me I missed you and I will make it up to you.
