Are you prepared?

When the Girl Scouts coined the motto "be prepared," were they thinking much beyond a possible Thin Mints shortage?

On the other hand, the 72hours.org website has all the bases covered: earthquakes, floods, fires, biohazards, zombie attacks. Okay, maybe not that last thing, but you get the idea.

Being on your own in a disaster won't be fun, but getting your home, car, and office ready for the worst is absolutely essential, and 72hours.org spells out what to do to stay sane in during an emergency. Be prepared.

Help me help him help me

Here's how I figure it: If I help San Francisco resident Mike Stearns get a job, he and his wife Robin may soon be in a position to buy a house, or maybe trade up to a bigger house.

For that, they are going to need a real estate agent. Granted, they don't know me, but a blog entry is not such a bad way to say "howdy."

So visit (seriously) MyHusbandNeedsAJob.com and check out
Mike's education and training. He has the right degree from Georgetown, and has worked on both coasts—and in China.

Spread the word. Help me help him…help me. I can't wait to put those two crazy kids into just the right home.
