Gotta Plug ... A Truly Good Cause

Time to take a break from the all-crime, all-the-time dialogue here to plug a unique effort that supports childhood cancer research -- a cause that's close to my heart. (And thus, the age-old question, "Does Dave even have a heart?" is answered.)

City Deputy Managing Director Thomas Conway and 20 other kind souls will have their heads shaved on St. Patty's Day at the Paddy Whacks Pub in Northeast Philly. The head-shaving extravaganza -- which itself is a show of support for kids who lose their hair from chemo treatments -- will raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer fundraising program for childhood cancer research. Thanks to 26,000 people who have willingly had their locks lopped off, St. Baldrick's has raised $20 million for research.

To learn more about St. Baldrick's or to donate to their cause, click here. If you want to join Tom Conway at the pub on March 17, head on up to 9241-43 Roosevelt Boulevard around 2 p.m. Many thanks to the Major Artery Revitalization Committee for giving us a heads-up about this cool event.

Nah, you still don't have a heart, but you do have one hell of a waft!

Fair and Balanced,

The waft is still going strong.

By the way, coach, I like the Curtis signing. But bringing back Buckhalter? Lame. Very lame.

I know. How do you not get excited for a wide receiver who has 12 total touchdowns in 4 NFL seasons? I can't wait to see that duo of Curtis and Brown this season. Who do you think will have more dropped passes?

I can't be bothered with anything recently. I've just been sitting around doing nothing. liberal Today was a loss. I just don't have much to say. Nothing seems worth thinking about.

Kate Winslet:

My mind is like a fog. Oh well. My life's been really dull today. Eh. Today was a total loss. I've more or less been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me. enterprise I just don't have much to say recently. Maybe tomorrow. Pfft. Whatever. Today was a loss.
