I volunteered during the past two Saturdays to help with a food drive.  This is one of those times of year (post holiday season) that the Maryland Food Bank is low on foodage.  In conjunction with Harvest the Hungry, a lot of groups and people are picking up food still this week.  If you live in the area, postal deliverers will pick up food from your house this week if you have it in bags near your box with some kind of note, if not the “official” bags Safeway is giving out.  It’s easy for you.  You should do it.  Totally.  We collected an unofficial thousand pounds of food last Saturday.  My uncle founded Harvest for the Hungry, and my parents have always been generous with the needy, so I guess it runs in my blood.  I did do most of my part side-by-side with my father both weekends.

Next year, I want to use bike trailers instead of pickup trucks.  Like these.

[While I'm nicely bearded currently, that is not me.  That is my friend Zack.  Nor is that my father in the other photo.  Just saying.]
