FreeRice

Two days ago the local news station did an article on FreeRice.com, a site where you click on the definition of a word and then you donate 10 grains of rice to the poor and hungry. I did about 5000 yesterday, but today I just did 10,000 grains which I just did at 6:14 PM while listening to Handel's Water Music on the speakers in the living room. I started this morning and I feel great!

There was orchestra practice today and I enjoyed it immensely.

That is how today went. Played with the dogs for about 30 minutes straight from about 5:30 to 6:16.

Turmoil in Georgia

I am very bothered by the trouble Georgia (the country) is having. I wish that Abkhazia would talk with Saakashvili et all, and I wish they were doing well. I worry so much because I have friends over there and I wish they were doing better. It makes me sad that this is happening.

I want it to be calmer over there and lively as it was a week ago. The BBC has a collection of pictures that show what it is like at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7085005.stm. check it out!

Who I am

I love Star Wars. When I am an adult I plan to work with bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria and save lives every day.

Other things I like are Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, climate change, and geography.


That is me!
