« For That Required Change In Mood »

 A meme! Direct from my friend Allison, brilliant theater actress, and the only non blogger that knows more meme's than bloggers. Allison thought it might be a good tool to lighten up the mood a little around here. And even I would agree, except that this meme is by far the strangest and most attention deficit focused read I think I have ever seen.  Really, what is about?  You tell me.

No I am not tagging anyone with this....Well, on second thought, yeah, I think I will.  I tag Jack.  Only because he always has really cool answers to seemingly boring things. And two, because he must be dead on his feet after completing the California Aidescycle, the annual seven day California bicycle ride to raise funds for HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment and research. Congratulations on riding in it a third (fourth?) year Jack! Check out his site for a live blogging version of his seven days on the ride.

Okay, now back to the vacuous meme.

we don't need five million to accomplish that, a measly one or two would more than suffice. I'm cheap. Glad my name starts with a T.

"Where do you spend most of your money?"
