Just sitting here watching Sarah taking here 3rd snowboarding lesson. It's weird going about our normal routine, while knowing Kim is in sask planning a funeral.

it strikes me that by 11 sarah has lost 2 grand parents, i didnt loose a grand parent till my 20s. my mom's
parents are still with us.

I wonder how this will change sarah and i mourn her loss, one she may never fully realize cause she didnt get the chance to know at least 2 of her grand parents as an a teen ager or an adult.

PS I'm just home to pack, then we head for Sask to join our wife for the funeral of my mother in law. I wrote this post on my clie while at COP this morning.

Headed to Sask today, for my Mother in law's funeral early next week. So of course there is a snow storm. The rule is we will have to travel in at least one snow storm to or from Sask each year. We've even had that when traveling in May. It was one of the reasons I want all wheel drive on the Element.

Kroc Leaves Salvation Army $1.5 Billion:
By Tony Perry, Times Staff Writer

The estate of the late philanthropist Joan Kroc has given an estimated $1.5 billion to the Salvation Army to build 25 to 30 community centers around the nation in what is considered the largest gift ever given to a single charity, officials announced today.

Kroc, the widow of McDonald's fast-food magnate Ray Kroc, provided $92 million in the 1990s to the Salvation Army to build and operate such a center in a blue-collar neighborhood of San Diego, which will serve as a model for the other centers. Kroc, who was 75, died of cancer Oct. 12 at her home in Rancho Santa Fe.

This is the same woman who left 200 million to NPR at the end of last year.

Needed to fix my Andy Hunter Review. I was singing 'Cool is like you', Sarah corrected me, it's 'Who is like you?'. I double checked and the corrent title is THE WONDERS OF YOU, but Sarah is right the lyric is 'Who is like you?'
