October 13, 2012 I've always thought that a dog's mouth was very clean. That must be a very popular old wives' tale, and I guess when you stop to think about it, and it doesn't really make that much sense. Look at where a dog puts his mouth!

September 27, 2012 I had lunch today at the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. By doing so, I helped feed several people. You can do the same until 8 tonight.

Your ticket price helps to raise money for the Food Bank, who can turn it into lots of meals for lots of people.
