Bowling for Bears will hold its fourth annual fund raising event this Sunday, December 7, 2008. Bowling for Bears, the creation of Jenny Silver, began in 2005 to bring joy to children affected by Hurricane Katrina. Jenny’s fund raising efforts enabled her to send a teddy bear to every child at The Children’s Hospital of New Orleans. Her project was so successful that she repeated it again in 2006 and in 2007 shifted her efforts toward children here in Philadelphia. In three years, Bowling for Bears has been able to donate 1,583 Build-a-Bears to children in need during the holidays. Jenny, a truly remarkable middle-school student, has even founded her own non-profit organization, Bowling for Bears, a New Jersey Nonprofit Corporation.

Happy birthday Andy Warhol!

It's that time of year folks, when we all lay down plans for the new year before promptly "forgetting" about them a month later. I'm hoping that making mine public will force me to stick to them... but check back with me in February.

It's hard figuring out what to get for the people in your life who already have everything, and so you're usually stuck at the last minute, still trying to figure out what you're buying them after the rest of the shopping is done. And here you are, four days before Christmas, stuck for ideas.
