Sharkey’s Ride

April 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Sharky’s Ride , almost like in the Laurie Anderson song:

Sun’s coming up. Like a big bald head.
Poking up over the grocery store.
It’s Sharkey’s day.
It’s Sharkey’s day today.
Yeah. He’s Mister Heartbreak.

And Sharkey says:
All of nature talks to me.
If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me.
Listen! Trees are swinging in the breeze.
They’re talking to me.
Insects are rubbing their legs together.
They’re all talking.
They’re talking to me.
And short animals …
They’re bucking up on their hind legs.
Talking.
Talking to me. Hey! Look out!
Bugs are crawling up my legs!
You know? I’d rather see this on TV.

Ride for Humanity

February 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

ride4humanityThe ride for humanity benefits the commitment of East Pasco Habitat for Humanity to provide affordable housing opportunities to deserving families in need. Since its formation in 1994, our organization has built 60 homes in East Pasco County. Habitat challenges individuals, churches, foundations and other groups to join in a partnership with low-income families to change the conditions in which they live. This charity bike ride is the feature event at the “Orange Blossom Special BBQ & Bike Festival” . The key word is partnership, for this is not just another housing program. Instead, those who need the homes, work together with many volunteers to build simple, decent houses that cost less because they are sold with a no-interest, no-profit mortgage.
