Ski's blog: "United we stand!"

Back in 2003 I took my son on a trip to Japan and Thailand. If you remember, that was when they were having that big SARS scare. Everybody was telling us not to go or to be careful because of the SARS. Well, we came up with a great practical joke... I bought a few dozen of the painters dust masks, and everytime we'd take a photo, we would wear the mask. Soon I was getting everyone we met to wear a mask for a photo! It was great, looking at the photo's it looked like everyone in Asia was wearing masks. The only problem is that now that now all of our photos have us wearing the mask. We have very few good pics of us from that trip. I guess the joke was on us!

This year, I have the honor and pleasure of participating in MDA's KTVK Channel 3: Telethon Executive Lock-Up to help "Jerry's Kids®". To reach my goal I need your help! I'd like to include my Lost Cherry family on my list of contributors who are helping me reach my goal. Your donation would help MDA continue the important fight against muscular dystrophy. Check out my web page by clicking on the link below. There you'll find all kinds of information about MDA, and be able to make your tax-deductible donation on-line using your credit card. MDA serves people in our community with neuromuscular disease by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, and summer camp for kids. MDA also funds research grants to help find treatments and cures for some 43 neuromuscular diseases that affect people of all ages, right here in our community. I sincerely hope that you'll take the opportunity to support MDA. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate contact me. On behalf of the families MDA serves, thank you!

Sign in a business window: "WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH ONE SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER" This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Philadelphia. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country would be marching on this business... and that the National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back. But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors simply make their statement... We are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty. And after all, it is just a sign.You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign? Answer: A Funeral Home (Who said morticians had no sense of humor?) You gotta love it!!! God Bless America!
