NaNoWriMo started. I posted my first bleary eyed entry at the NaNoWriMo tab. Read it now — it’ll be replaced with something new tomorrow!
And come play with me. I’m Bego at nanowrimo.org.
for those of you who like the T-shirt
Our modern culture demands a t-shirt as a souvenir for everything we do. Maybe it’s shallow. Maybe it’s just fun. I prefer to think it’s fun. After all, there’s nothing cooler than a really neat T-shirt. There’s a neat little project going on over at The Catholic Company that you might want to check out.
The Catholic Company has undertaken a challenge, together with the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP), to send 5000 (or more!) catechisms to the poor and needy at MOP missions in Jamaica, India, the Philippines, Haiti, Uganda & Kenya. We are sending the first 500 catechisms, and hope our loyal customers will help us send at least another 4500 copies.
Among the items is a T-Shirt that says: Eternity is better. 
Buy a few catechisms to send, and purchase the T-shirt for yourself. You know you want the shirt — do something good for others through the Missionaries of the Poor while you’re there.
Amazing!
I have a new hero, and I wasn’t even in the market for one.
Check out this amazing article about a 41-year-old woman who qualified for the US Olympic team. I’ve been out of the loop for sports a long time, longer still if you count when I quit playing basketball or swimming (we won’t count that varsity letter in badminton). Still, this woman’s story has intrigued me.
I’ll be checking her progress in Beijing, that’s for sure.
