Fall Fundraiser--Getting There

A bunch of contributions came in yesterday--$405 to be exact--and that brings the total for the fundraiser so far to $1,925. That leaves $1,075 to go to reach the goal of $3,000. I thank all of you for your support so far.

Ideally, I'd like to end this fundraiser as planned at the end of tomorrow, so it'd be really nice to have a bunch more contributions come in today so that the goal can be hit on time. As usual, there's a PayPal button on the right or you can shoot me an email and I'll send you my mailing address.

I was going to do a bunch of posts for today but two events conspired to prevent that. One, the FDA revealed its definition of pediatric bipolar disorder after much pressure from this site and its readers (see adjoining post). I'm still contemplating the FDA's reply and how to make sense of it. And, two, it was quite hot in Seattle yesterday--OK, by Seattle standards--and my apartment was unbearable most of the day and evening. We've been getting a good-bye kiss from summer the last five days or so and in a week or two, the jet stream is going to shift down from the North and Seattle will be gray and rainy for the next eight months or so. As a result, I'm getting as much outside time as possible.

If I don't, I'll kick myself in January.

I definitely agree w getting outside as much as possible, that mid-October drop off into the artic weather zone is so reliable, I've been outside every day recently too.

Continued good luck w the fundraiser!!!

Enjoy the good weather.

Inquiring minds want to know if you will stop off for coffee as well -
Starbucks or Seattle's Best?

Congrats on the 2K mark!

Gray and rainy for eight months?

It's raining for two days in Rio de Janeiro. It seems like eternity! I'm already feeling blue.
I could never live in Seattle!
Eight months? gray and... rainy........
