Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN

I am on a Forest that goes way out of their way for the Combined Federal Campaign. They sell votes for $1 each or 6 for $5 and vote for people to do yucky stuff. They take the top 6 and they have to perform whatever disgusting thing the organizers come up with. Today is the last day for posting tickets so I waited patiently and bought myself out of the play near the end and snuck back to my office. Five minutes later I was twenty seven votes above the next closest nominee and many more than that from the rest. So it would have been over $300 to buy myself out a second time---so I just decided I would have to do whatever.

An hour later I was sixth highest with quite a few close so I bought myself out again for $10. Right---as soon as I had put up my stickers another 20 were put on my name---hence $120 to buy out---guess I'm stuck doing whatever. I'm happy to participate in this because the money goes to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT---a very worthy cause. And on top of that is fun to have this many people laughing to spend their money.

That is a great idea. And I cannot say enough good things about that hospital. They have taken such good care of those neglected kids we sent up there. I saw them today, and they look so great. What a great and worthy cause.

You need to invite all of us down to see you do whatever they want you to...or at least videotape it.. :)

It is highly ujnlikely that there will be any pictorial or video evidence that I ever participated in this event---there have been six others and no one can prove I was there.

And that Hospital is awesome for all the other things they do for kids---thank God there is some place like that.
