Well, the swine flu is definitely hitting close to home. Three employees at the West Forsyth Y have tested positive for swine flu and are being isolated at home. That's the Y that my family belongs to, and we were all just there yesterday to work out. I hope the three employees get better and I also hope this thing doesn't spread throughout the gym's population.
Justin has a pretty bad case of poison ivy (oak?). It’s really bad on his hands, which means we’re having a hard time keeping it from spreading. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

As dumb as it is to drive drunk, how much dumber is it to drive drunk on a motorcycle? You'd think that no matter how drunk you were you'd at least have some basic survival instict triggering alarm bells in your head. You know, something like: "Daggum I'm hammered. Maybe getting on the road and traveling at speeds that God never intended for human beings, and NOT being surrounded by a ton of metal and airbags ain't the best idea." The good news is that drunks this stupid likely will do the most damage to themselves and the people dumb enough to ride with them, while the "smarter" drunks tend to take out their stupidity on the rest of us.
Second Harvest is in dire need of food and financial donations. Check out Life in Forsyth for some info, as well as WXII's story on the record shortage that Second Harvest is enduring.
At the day job we've been running a food drive for a while now and it all culminates at our monthly dinner meeting next Tuesday. We're hoping to gather the equivalent of 50,000 cans of food and as you can see from the stories Second Harvest can use every one.
If you have donations you'd like to make, but for whatever reason aren't able to get them to Second Harvest, just let me know and I'll be happy to collect it and add it to the box we have in the office. Money also helps greatly so you can visit Second Harvest's website or give them a call to make donations.
