Molly Bell posted this as a comment back on the “Habitat for Haiti” post, but I didn’t want you to miss it:

Hi Jenny, I thought you’d like an update about what Habitat for Humanity is doing in Haiti. Yesterday we announced a plan to provide 50,000 housing solutions in Haiti! There’s no misplaced decimal there, we really mean 50,000 families with a new or repaired home, that is safe and is constructed to withstand future disasters. It’s an ambitious goal, but we think we can do it, with the support of people like you and your fans. You can learn more about our approach at : http://www.habitat.org/ Thanks for getting the word out – it is appreciated! Molly

So your dollars are doing good. It’s hard to imagine fifty thousand families getting homes, but then you remember that this is what Habitat does. Amazing organization, made possible because you give. Thank you all so much.

Occasionally over the past six months, as Lani and I have discussed the world over tea, I’ve found myself quoting Bob Mayer. We collaborated for five years, it’s not unusual that I’d repeat something he’d said, but it turns out, Bob is deep. I mean, who knew?

Here are some teachings from The Tao of Bob. read more >>

Some of you know that Lani Diane Rich is now writing as Lucy March for Jennifer Enderlin. Lani’s working on the first book now, a paranormal about a waffle house waitress with undiscovered skills who discovers them (it’s called A Little Night Magic), and since that’s not enough, she’s also started a project on her Lucy March blog documenting the countdown to her fortieth birthday. She’s promising to blog every day for 516 days. Yes, she’s insane, but she’s my roommate, so I’m being supportive. Go look at Lucy March’s Blog. She tells me that tomorrow she’s explaining that even though we’re living together, we’re not sleeping together. Not that there’d be anything wrong with that. I’m not sure it’s a good thing to tell people that since the rumor that Sweetness and Light had two mommies was the most interesting thing about either one of us, but the woman has to find 516 blog topics, so I’m not getting in her way. I can’t find anything to blog every other day here, how is she going to do this every day? Forecast for Lucy March: pictures of dogs and cats, links to Cracked.com, and Random Saturdays. Should be very fun to watch.

I was talking to Light one evening several weeks ago, and she said, “What did Wolfie look like when he was a puppy?” So we googled for long haired dachshund puppies and found this: read more >>

Terrible news today: We’ve lost Talpanna. AgTigress has written to tell me that she’s gone after a very bad three months in hospital. Argh won’t be the same without her, but wherever she is now, there is intelligence, and insight, and laughter. We’ll miss you so much, Tal.
