On Saturday, I’m participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Every year about 60,000 people, 80% being women, show up in Times Square/Central Park to participate in this event, a celebration of hope and progress in the fight against women’s cancers. It also serves as a vehicle to raise much needed funds that support scientists in medical studies, help provide diagnostic treatment services for medically underserved women, and deliver phsychological and financial support of women with cancer and their families. This all hits home with me because cancer has not been very nice to several of my close female family members.
If you would like to sponsor me, you can make a donation on my personalized Revlon Run/Walk sponsorship page. Thank you.

This truck totally made me smile. When I got home, I checked out the M. Slavin & Sons website and it made chuckle too. It reads: “M. Slavin & Sons, Ltd. is proud to present this website. Its easy to use format will enable you to discover the wonderfully vast and diverse array of the ocean’s bounty, all under one site and just a click away.” I think they could use a copywriter.
Movies I saw this weekend & my rating of them:
� Identity: One thumb up.
� Kissing Jessica Stein (for the 2nd time): Two thumbs up.
� Scooby-Doo: Two thumbs down
� Panic Room: One thumb up.

Tonight when I left work the weather was pleasant, sunny and about 60 degrees, so I wander/walked out of Tribeca, through the Village/SoHo and up into Chelsea. I found this cute little bookstore on the corner of Bleecker and 11th street called Biography. Outside they had 2 tables full of bargain-priced used books… so many good ones for so CHEAP! I picked up a hardcover copy of a book called You Are Not A Stranger Here that Wendy recommended to me a while back for only $7.98. I also snagged a softcover copy of Angela’s Ashes for $5.98. My dad sent this book to me quite a while ago and it was lost in the mail. I ended up strolling around for about an hour and a half, thinking about how great it’s going to be this spring/summer when the weather is consistently warm.
