Poll Fatigue

And another pet peeve.....not only for me, but for a lot of people, apparently:  the faux knowledge given by endless polls. 

I don't know if signing another petition is the answer [see below, and you decide]; I just know that next time I'm contacted by a telephone pollster, or see another of the endless requests to "vote for your candidate" online, I will follow Nancy Reagan's advice and "just say No".

The only poll that counts is the one in November 2008.

Women for Women International

This organization helps women help themselves. These are women who have lived through horrific experiences due to violence and war in their countries. Women for Women International, through their sponsors -- both corporate, and individuals like me -- gives these women a chance to be more than victims. WforW provides literacy classes and training, medical help and much more. Bottomline: WforW gives them hope. I'm proud to be a supporter.

R&R

No, not Rock & Roll this time. Rest and Relaxation.

It's been a hectic, but wonderful holiday season -- on overdrive.

Many visits and quality time with friends and family.

But now I'm looking forward to being a beach bum for a few days.

St. Croix, here I come!
