A place to put thoughts -- those moments where I have some thought that is clear enough to have a life of its own other than in my own head. It may not be interesting to anyone other than me, but who knows?

A different kind of telemarketing
My nephew Aaron has been touring with a music group that is part of a ministry that brings music and drama teams to churches around the country and around the world, called CTI Music Ministries.
Due to the current economic downturn, he has had to participate in a rather awkward task: Cold-calling people to ask for donations.
What he experienced was surprising. Read all about it here, at his ministry team's blog.

Loser: Weeks 1 & 2
Yes, yes, I know...I'm VERY late on my weekly weight loss reporting. So, here we go.
Week 1 wasn't too hot. I actually GAINED 2 pounds:
Start Weight: 252
End Weight: 254
Lbs Lost This Week: -2
% Lost This Week: -0.79
Total Weight Lost So Far: -2
Total Percentage Lost So Far: -0.79
But, some improvement in week 2 (I feel like the stock market...):
Start Weight: 254
End Weight: 250
Lbs Lost This Week: 4
% Lost This Week: 1.57
Total Weight Lost So Far: 2
Total Percentage Lost So Far: 0.79
That's about it. I'll keep slugging it out. Stay tuned for more weekly reports.
