hmmm…..
I wrote this email yesterday, but didn’t post it. What a difference a day makes.
hmmm…..
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. That means six more weeks of winter ….maybe…… Phil, the infamous ground hog, is watched every year on February 2. Legend has it that if the ground hog sees his shadow, then the cold will linger for six more weeks. That’s the legend; however, Phil hardly ever gets it right. He has seen his shadow way more times than not. But sometimes it warms up early anyway.
Isn’t it funny how we get things stuck in our head? Things like, a ground hog actually knows something about the weather. Or, that the Susan Komen Foundation will always put women first in its decisions. There is a pretty big flurry right now about the fact that a foundation and organization that all of us have heard about and have supported in one way or another has arbitrarily decided to cut out funding for an agency that provides mammograms for women who are in most need of the assistance. It makes me want to never buy anything pink ever again.
Surely the Foundation will rethink this decision. Surely they will see the error of their logic. The Susan Komen foundation does a lot of good for a lot of women – and even a few men. But its demise could come quickly without some serious damage control. Maybe the Board of the Susan Komen Foundation could get a clue from Punxsutawney Phil – take its head out of the sand and look around.
hmmm…..
