Well, I should have known that the NYTimes isn't going to do anything to potentially piss off their wealthier readership. Or all those nice old men with fresh babies who haven't yet been traumatized or diagnosed with any disorders yet. All the letters to the editor in response to the aforementioned old-daddy article were POSITIVE, save for the astute reader who wrote in to complain that all these men have one thing in common and that's $$$. I'm not upset that my letter wasn't published so much as a letter from a child of an older person who says its not so great wasn't published.
And regarding $$$, since when does the Times profile anyone without a lot of money, unless of course the article is about not having a lot of money?
I walked 2.2 miles this morning for the local domestic violence shelter's annual symbolic walk/fundraising effort. It was awesome to see thousands of people walking for this important cause. Major props goes to the "Hummus Lovers" team, who walked ahead of our team. Nothing stops domestic violence quite like hummus and for that matter, baba ghanouj. I was also thrilled to see Vitamin Water was a sponsor and got a gratis bottle of Focus (strawberry-kiwi) that fueled my march! But it wasn't about the hummus or the Vitamin Water, it was about the organization, and I feel very good about donating and marching.
