Two things:

1. I need to update the blogroll for this site. Please leave your url in comments so I can make a brand spanking new blogroll that is easy to use. THANKS!

2. Rumor has it that Toys for Tots is behind where they need to be in Pittsburgh. I've heard that from a few different sources, so for once in my life, I'm sharing a press release (sorry that I'm lazy and not cleaning up the formatting):
