...my birthday fundraiser continues :-)
Meanwhile, as my coffers fill with gold, I'll be out on a neighborhood street cleanup on the west side of town (early AM) and door-knocking for the Londrigan campaign through the afternoon wherever they need me.
If you're out there too, say "hey".
Behold, a Birthday Fundraiser!
