Maybe I should look up more often....

The parking lot of the local grocery store is a zoo when I arrive on the Wednesday before Turkey Day. I knew it would be crowded and that they would probably be out of many items, but that's what you get when you're running back and forth to another state trying to take care of an elderly parent. Everything becomes a blur; time gets away from you, and suddenly the holiday is here.

the First Annual Delmarva Toy Run | "Thoughts on Community"

In a couple of hours I'm scheduled to be at a local radio station to talk about an upcoming event. This project grew out of a discussion held at a fish fry a few months ago where the gist of the conversation centered around "we could all come together and make a difference". And thus was born the idea for the First Annual Delmarva Community Toy Run. A suggestion for a radio contact landed me this opportunity to talk publicly about what, when and why - and it's also the reason for me being up before 5AM. I'm a little nervous, making notes and writing myself reminders of what to say in case I'm tongue-tied, and then it occurred to me that perhaps I should just speak from the heart.
