Weekly Roundup – Ghent Bar Tour Weekend

|
This weekend me and five or six of my friends will be heading down to Norfolk, VA to participate in the Ghent Bar Tour in support of the Make A Wish Foundation. I wanted to give a special thank you to FMF, NCN, and Mapgirl for their generous donations (especially FMF) to the cause and anyone else who donated but didn’t email me. While the response to the FMF and my offer to match dollar for dollar donations was less than spectacular, we both decided to send our full amounts in anyway. Anyway, it should be a great time, I look forward to seeing the event for the first time (if you can make it, let me know!), and I hope you all have a great weekend.

HAHA! I have a reason for writing very loooong urls. If anything else, I would like to be known as the pf blogger who used the longest URLs ever. That should go on my blogging epitaph.
