Full Weekend

GTVB went 1 & 1 this weekend and earned 45 digs. So far, collections for the "Dig for the Cure" have reached over $3000; mine reached about $250. I think the overall is on the low side, but hopefully more will come in, plus there is an auction for the pink jerseys... or rather, replicas as the fine print states.

After the FSU match, we went to John Moore's hip shindig with InhabitAtlanta at the new Triumph Lofts; drinks, food, art, friends, good music... and all of it free - we had a pretty good time. And we'll definitely use those Six Feet Under coupons. Yum!

Other than Tech pounding Dook football, Miami eking out a win over Tech Volleyball in 4 (last set was extra points) and wifey studying contracts for her test Monday, there wasn't much else excitement... not that studying contracts is that exciting, but the test went well and THAT is exciting. Oh wait, the homemade cinnamon rolls were very good!

Thoth and Last Call for the Ladies

After 2 days of bad #2, and 2 days of no #2, we have new, relatively improved #2! That's about as gentle as I can put it, I guess. Bacon-stealer has been much more lively as well, so I think he's in the clear. Good Thoth.

Tomorrow is the "Dig for the Cure" volleyball match that Georgia Tech is hosting; maybe I can get a few last minute donations. Get those digs, Jackets!

And since we're talking about it, ladies... It's October, so make sure you're doing your Breast Self Exams! Stay Healthy!

My first three pledges!

I've gotten 3 pledges so far for the "Dig for the Cure" campaign, and I haven't really tried. I'll be a little more assertive this week. 14 days left.

And to make it even better, the Yellow Jackets won their ACC opener over Clemson who was picked to win the conference! Too bad I didn't get to see it, though. They also won over Florida A&M, so now Tech is (9-2) which is comperable to several top 25 teams. Keep it up, ladies!

Aside, can someone explain to me why Clemson is playing the same easy team three days in a row? Talk about boosting your record.

Dig for the Cure

I picked up my Georgia Tech Volleyball season tickets! While I was there, I met with one of the assistant coaches to collect forms to help the "Dig for the Cure" campaign. Here's part of a flyer I created:

The Georgia Tech Volleyball Team is partnering with the Atlanta Chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation in an effort to raise awareness and funds to help fight the cause of breast cancer.

The Yellow Jackets will "Dig for the Cure" October 3rd against the Florida State Seminoles in Georgia Tech's home conference (ACC) opener. The team is hoping for pledges on a “per dig” basis or as a flat donation.

Having been indirectly touched by cancer - a few survivors, and one not so fortunate (luv ya clcm!) - and being a huge fan of GTVB, this means a lot to me. So... if you would like to contribute, please contact me.
