blithering about travel and Costa Rica for an important announcement.For the three of the loyal readers who have not been paying attention (and there is at least one in Tokyo who has) Japan has been rocked by a horrible, horrible tragedy.
Of course, this hits home for myself, as I lived in Japan for five years. I did not live near Sendai (Tokyo was as close to the north as I lived) we still have friends that we consider family living in Japan.
Today, as I was perusing the news wires, I read that donations to Japan are not all that high. Perhaps because people see Japan as a rich nation (unlike Haiti). However, the level of destruction and devastation is just enormous.
We're not going to endorse any Web site for aid here, but we'd like to encourage everyone to give just a bit to the folks who have absolutely nothing left after the twin disasters of the quake and tsunami.

heart-wrenching ...
(we'll give to Red Cross, unless you know of a better charity to support)
red cross is a good one. . . a buddy of mine back there said that world vision was doing a lot of good things back there, so that's where we sent out moolah to. . .
