Hodgepodge of things to share…
First and foremost, there is a wonderful update by Peter Mayhew about Anissa – she is going home! That totally made me cry big, fat tears of joy. Please read the update and pass along the good news in any way you can – on your website, Twitter, Facebook, shouting from rooftops, etc. We need to spread this – ANISSA IS GOING HOME!
The tweet announcing she’s left the hospital is here. RT that sucker!
Additionally, we need to do everything we can to help them now, again. The copays for her outpatient care are $100 a day. Anything we can donate to The Mayhews right now will be of great help to them. You can click here to access their Paypal donation page, or click the image below.

Of much less importance, I have another two posts syndicated at Blogher: Falling Happens, But Jumping Takes Courage and The Not Good Enough Mother. You may or may not have read them here, but if you have a chance, I’d love for you to check them out and leave me a comment over there.

I’m also excited to share that I’ve started a new job as Nashville City Guide Editor at The Savvy Source. They are still looking for Editors for other City Guides (you’d provide regular info on preschool-age child-friendly activities in your town) for the following places: Berkeley, Charleston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Halifax, Honolulu, Houston, Indy, KC, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Minnesota, Northern New Jersey, OKC, Pitt, St. Louis, Toronto, Vancouver. If you’re interested, Tweet @whithonea or email him

I’m also contributing to Room 704 in its new, monthly format. (Officially, I’m Visual Editor/Cartoonist, but I’m submitting posts, as well.) Check out the February issue!
Whew. This really cramps my sitting-on-my-ass-doing-nothing style.

Wahoo to all of those things! I wish I had more to contribute to the Mayhews, but I gave all I could back when she first went into the hospital.
As it turns out, we’ll be working together (sorta)! I’m the city editor for Savvy Source Philadelphia, and I’m just starting to work on it. Yahoo!
Missing you.

Congratulations.
I wish I could contribute to something. Today I delivered my resignation letter to the company I worked for 15.5 years full time. So now let’s see what shows up.
Best of luck to your new work.

hey Lotus, I write for Savvy Source too.
Our friend (well for me only in the virtual realm) Dawn hooked me up back when they were looking for an editor in my area.

Yay! Dawn’s the one who alerted me to the position, as well.

was scrolling your side bar and this cracked me up:
you said
* Slow but Steady Hair Re-Growth Process | Remedieshairloss.com on I could always shave my head, get a penis tattoed on it, and be a real dickhead.
I clicked to see if they left you a comment but I am guessing the spam filter caught it. I also clicked their “name” and find it hilarious that on their page (an ad of course) your post is listed in the possibly related posts. Nice one for the wordpress crawler.

Ahhh, the perils of allowing trackbacks! Thanks for the heads up. I deleted.
