Thanks tiggerman. I have just learned that my employer is donating one million dollars to one of these charities. My wife and I have donated $100 to the Red Cross and my fantasy baseball league has decided unanimously to donate our winnings pool in the amount of $300.

I made my Red Cross donation through Amazon.com. Amazon has waived its fees and you can watch the tremendous number of donations in the past few days... Nearly $5,000,000. This time yesterday it was about $3,000,000....

I also did the Red Cross donation....and a buddy of mine and me bought 50 cases of bottled water that we're gonna try to get into Manhattan tomorrow....I don't know how close we'll get to the Towers but we'll go as close as they let us...
and we'll see if they need blood donations too...
