My week of Safari
Today I decided to only use Safari as my web browser. Since I use it on the Mac all the time, I figured I would try to use the one I downloaded for my PC exclusively to see how I like it.To be honest, I never really understand why people on website reviews get paid to do this ... It's not like every web browser has THAT many differences. Let me know what I should be looking for.

My New Year's Resolution
OK ... So after thinking long and hard, I decided that my new year's resolution is to communicate better. I used to be really good at communicating with people in my personal/volunteer life. For some reason this past year, I sortof let that slide a little. Now part of that may have been the wedding ... or losses of loved ones ... or being over-worked ... But there are no excuses. My friends deserve better from me.
To anyone that I have not replied to an e-mail or voicemail or IM or Facebook wall post this past year ... I am sorry. You deserve, and will get better out of me.
Does that mean that I will once again try to post daily to this blog? No. I found that many times I would post just for the sake of posting ... and the posts had no meaning at all. This time around, I will post weekly ... My thoughts about what is going on in my life and/or in the real world. The best advice I have ever been given about blogging is to "blog for yourself and no one else" ... so that is what I am going to do.
So to my family, friends ... My new years resolution is to be better to you.

Help get more funding for Cancer research
What if I told you that you have an opportunity to make a significant impact on cancer research today? You do! Right now, the United States Congress is considering an economic stimulus package and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is working to ensure that within that package, $1.9 billion is allocated to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the federal agency that oversees cancer and other medical research.
That’s where we need your help! Please email your Members of Congress, and urge them to include $1.9 billion for NIH in an economic stimulus package.
Over the past 5 years, funding for cancer research is down nearly 14 percent. A $1.9 billion increase for NIH would provide a much-needed increase for life-saving research to help detect cancer at the earliest stages and more effectively treat this dreaded disease.
Let your Members of Congress know that increased funding for NIH is a win-win situation, for cancer survivors, patients and caregivers all across the country.
Take action now. This down payment on the future of cancer research is essential to maintaining the progress that has been made in the fight. Make your voice heard today!

Yesterday
So yesterday I FINALLY got around to bringing Dad's clothes to the Goodwill. Some people told me I should have taken some of his stuff (particularly belts, khaki's, and button up shirts that did not fit me) to a consignment shop to try to get some cash for them, rather than just dropping them off at the Goodwill store.
It wasn't a real secret that my father had some problems with alcohol. One thing he never really told anyone except me was that there was a point in his life where he had to take advantage of community programs to help get back on his feet. One of those programs was utilizing a very small amount of money to buy new clothes so he could get employed. I am positive he went somewhere like a Goodwill store to find his new clothes.
Dropping off those clothes at the Goodwill is my way of making sure Dad gave back to where he came from. Who knows? Maybe there will be another father having similar struggles that goes to the Goodwill and buys a pair of Dad's pants and shirt for a job interview. If the items were in a consignment shop, they probably would have cost more, and taken more out of his budget ... My coupon/savings happy father would not have had it any other way.

Congratulations Katie and Matt Bradley
Today Heather and I had the chance to celebrate the marriage of Katie and Matt. Congratulations to you both!!!
Today was a very tough time. When the family met with the pastor before my dad's memorial service, she talked about how hard not only letting go would be ... but also how hard all of the "firsts" would be ... the first Christmas ... the first New Years ... the first birthday celebration ... and of course, the first wedding.
Although this wedding wasn't the "first" wedding (of course ... our wedding was the first) ... Katie and Matt's was the first family wedding that we had without dad. I was OK until I got home ... then it was tough.
I post this blog with tears in my eyes, as I don't mourn the loss of my father ... but I mourn what he is missing. He gave us everything he had until the very end. It is what he will not get to be a part of in his physical being that I mourn. I know he will always be there in spirit ... but the fact that his physical being will not be there is what makes me mourn.
