The automotive windshield Ice Scraper. The only thing that will do a satisfying job when this work needs to be done.

Waterpik Ultra Everyone one who can should get and use one.
In a four month period I improved the gum "pocket" measurements at my dentist by 29%. There have been very few products, treatments, programs, or other life-changes that have produced such a significant improvement in my experience. (Thank you, Carla!)

I am using only what I believe is the "Orthodontic Tip", running it down slightly under the edge of my gums. At first use I tried to keep everything neat in the bathroom, which was frustrating. Then I realized it didn't matter and began using the tool like I would have at 6 years old. Messy but mucho fun. This has led to enjoying and looking forward to the experience, which I'm sure has contributed to its effectiveness.

The Red Cross, because when you need blood there are few substitutes. Blood drives are regular events at my office building and, being healthy in this regard, I routinely spend a little time and donate blood. This organization is involved in much more than just blood donations, and with the current disaster in Haiti they'll be on the front line of support and in need of everybody's help.


Bo Bartlett because when you need one there are few substitutes.

"From the smallest particle to the largest galaxy the mystery is great and I am awed by it. I have no need to name it, to quantify it, to sum it up. If I attempt to address it in my work sometimes, it is not from a dogmatic point of reference, I am not searching for a theology or a science to explain the great mystery. An Artist romps around in the mystery like a child plays alone in his own backyard, imagining and making up his own rules and reality. An Artist romps around in the mystery like an animal roams the woods, curious and wide-eyed and alert. An Artist romps around in the mystery like an explorer traversing an unknown land, excited, careful and fully alive."

Hollywood Grill, because when you need a delicious char-broiled burger, no one around here does it this good.

Reviews: "Where else can you find an autographed Gilligan shirt hanging directly across from an autographed Teddy Roosevelt painting? Sure, the headshots and Hollywood memorabilia is a bit kitschy, but the burgers are pretty good. I ordered the Hollywood Burger - nice, thick patty and crisp buns they threw on the grill just before serving me. Fries were good too."

"Discovered this place was open and took a chance. All I can say is "WOW!" . I had the bleu cheese burger with bacon and mushrooms. The bleu cheese is in the meat of the burger and they don't skimp on the cheese. The bacon was plentiful and yummy. The burgers are huge, a 1/2 lb. and grilled. I had a side of sweet potato fries. They were good as well and not salted, which I prefer. Also, one wall is covered with autographed pictures of actors as well as some movie memorabilia. The other wall has Presidential artifacts. Very clean place and the owner and cook are very friendly. Much better than Gordo's and I hope it stays. I will definitely be back here again."

The Night Light. Like 'em, I recommend 'em. When I'm up in the night I want to see but I don't want to wake up. Nothing will ruin the next day like becoming fully awake by: 1) a blaring Klieg lamp; 2) stepping on something undesirable or bumping something painful in the dark. These familiar little do-dads have become such a warm and fuzzy fixture in my life that I've now got them all over the house. But not too many. And, unfortunately, only plain ones. I need to get some fancy varieties. Hey, friends, a gift idea!
