December 3rd is....

Coats & Toys for Kids Day is December 3! Today, in the great state of Maine, good folks are collecting new or gently-used children's coats or new, unwrapped toys. These coats help many families keep their children warm through the long Maine winter, and the toys will help make a happy Christmas for many children throughout the state. This campaign is a success because of tremendous generosity every year.
The spirit of giving back to the community is present everywhere. This is just one small example. We'll trying featuring similar events throughout the season. Remember, Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!

Have an Epiphany, Ride a Bike

On this tenth anniversary of George's death.....

George Harrison had an "epiphany" of sorts at the age 12 or 13 while riding a bike around his neighborhood and getting his first whiff of Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel that was playing from a nearby house. By the age of 14, Harrison, whose early rock heroes included Carl Perkins, Little Richard, and Buddy Holly, had purchased his first guitar and taught himself a few chords.
