If you or your loved ones are in the areas affected by Sandy, you may not be able to read this, but my thoughts are with you all. If you aren’t in the affected areas, considering helping out in the relief efforts by donating either money or blood to the Red Cross. You can donate $10 by sending a text to 90999, or go to the Red Cross website and donate with a credit card or Paypal. The bad weather is likely to cause shortages of blood and platelets, so finding a donation center for blood would be a great idea as well.

Hang in there!
