boil the rice
Last night I went with a group of friends to prepare and serve dinner at the Simpson Men's Shelter, this is a wonderful place. They go to great length to provide a setting with dignity to men who have found themselves living on the streets. They do a lot of advocacy work to move these guys into apartments and to help them find jobs.
I was filled with gratitude for my house and bed last night, that's for sure.
There was a big storm here last night and uptown lost all it's power. I had that feeling of panic when I woke up and looked over at the alarm clock only to see the face was black. Fortunately my internal alarm clock was pretty right on, so I made it in with time to spare. Summer is never really here until Uptown starts experiencing power outages!
