Earth hour
Earth hour is tomorrow night 3/29
http://www11.earthhourus.org/
On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.
We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.
What will you do when the lights are off? We have lots of ideas.

Leukemia Climb

In memory of my Dad, and in honor of my friend Robert "Strong Like
Bull" McDowell, I will be participating in the 22nd Annual Big Climb
for Leukemia (March 16th). The event is The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society's most challenging event. Last March, over 4,200 people
climbed the stairs at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, the
state's tallest skyscraper, and raised over $700,000. The 69-flight
course includes 1,311 steps, 19 steps per flight and 788 feet of
vertical elevation.

In addition to a challenging workout, the Big Climb gives me the
opportunity to fight leukemia. Leukemia, a cancer of the body's blood-forming organs, is the leading disease killer of children; yet for
every child diagnosed, ten adults face this disease. Thanks to research supported by contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, survival rates in both adult and childhood leukemia have dramatically improved.
Please consider supporting me or joining my team as we climb all those
stairs in an effort to fight blood cancers. Thanks!

John W. Scroggs, Sr.
I was going to write a short eulogy here. But the words aren't quite coming to me right now.
Dad's probably up there enjoying a frosty PBR right now. Smiling and waving. Farewell, Dad. We love you. And we'll miss you.
