International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)

Spotted in the grocery store, Red Rose tea bags with the IFAW emblem.

They are wonderful people who rescue animals and protect wildlife populations.
They were a client of mine in previous years, now I just follow and support.
I love the Red Rose campaign.
Please Support IFAW!

Throwback Thursday: 2001

Somerville, MA

Ha! I love this because it was the first day that I got the new webcam. In those days, the only way to get an image or video from a PC was to hook up a bulbous little camera. I don't even think it was USB at that point, but a webcam was some tech magic at the time!

I wasn't trying to get a shot here. I was futzing with my new webcam. Jeffrey called. When I posted this on Facebook in 2008, there was no such thing as Throwback Thursday.

Did I tell you about the dyslexic atheist insomniac?
He stays up all night wondering if there really is a Dog.
