Light-hearted video (probably NSFW). But it ends serious. Pay attention.

Walking for cancer research
This morning was the Tidwell Cancer Foundation's Walk and Pancake Breakfast.
It was at Ashley Furniture, at Columbus Park Crossing -- a shopping center we affectionately call "Hooterville," since Hooters was one of the first businesses in the area, and because, until recently, it used to be woods.
Started early, was cold, and turnout was light.
But it was for a good cause, and those that did come out were enthusiastic.
I wore a pink hat. And, no, I don't have any pictures of me in a pink hat.
Oh, and Chris Cakes of Atlanta handled the Pancake Breakfast portion of things.
My neice (Miss Columbus Teen 2009) and her mother (The Mean Sister) drover over last night, arriving at Casa Basil about 1:00 AM. I gave them the TiVo remote and went to bed.
But, this morning, went to the fundraiser and tried to raise a little money for breast cancer research.
Why not check out your local paper, pay attention to the commercials on radio and TV, and notice flyers around town? You might find out about a worthwhile fundraiser going on.
You'll be cold, wet, and tired.
And feel good about it.

Friends Of Cathy
Cathy Forsythe, sister of Chris Muir, who writes Day By Day, died Friday.
Cathy had battled cancer for some years. And bloggers helped promote her battle against cancer. Cathy had her own blog, in fact.
Many of us have been touched by cancer. Whether it's a friend or a family member who suffered, or whether some of us have battled the disease ourselves, most of us have been touched in some way.
But many of us have been touched in a different way.
Many of us have known survivors. And cancer survivors are some of the strongest, most inspiring people you could ever meet.
Sometimes, people survive for a while before finally succumbing. Others beat the disease and it never returns.
But, quite often, those that have fought cancer manage to be a source of strength for others.
Cathy is one of those who battled the disease and managed to use the Internet, radio, newspapers, and other media to bring attention to the fight.
In that way, Cathy fought not just for herself, but for others.
Cathy's fight is over.
But the battle continues.
