Moveable Feast

This weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer with Moveable Feast, a not-for-profit that delivers meals to people in Maryland living with HIV/AIDS and breast cancer. I've shared a story about their move on SSB.

On May 17th and 18th, Moveable Feast in sponsoring their 6th annual Ride for the Feast, a bicycle race through Baltimore City to raise funds. If you would like to sponsor a rider and donate money ($20 provides a week's worth of meal), click here.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

[Correction: The original post listed March 17th and 18th for the annual Ride of the Feast. It should have read May 17th and 18th.]

Dream Job

Whenever I was asked about my dream job, I used to joke that I wanted to work in a white, spherical room, and solve problems. Well, it turns out there's a company out there who wants to give me (and the rest of the world) just that opportunity.
