Still no skiing

Purely Personal

It is sunny out with fresh snow. I promised myslef that if the temp went above 10F I would hop in the car and go over to Mad River to do a few runs after lunch. I have not skiid ONCE this year even though I bought a ski pass, even though we moved to Vermont to ski, even though we bought a house only 7 miles from MRG just so we could go there easily. It’s 9 degrees. Too cold. Keep working. Will I ever ski again?

Our .NET Ebay Auction *is* Tax-Deductible

Asia

I have been asked about the auction being tax deductible.

Absolutely!

So get your clients and your companies to bid!! I told my clients about the auction and said “hey, can you hire me some help for when I get really stuck on something?” Even an hour of having someone like Kimberly Tripp take a look at their SQL Server setup would be invaluable!!

The PayPal account (acehaid@tides.org) that the winners send their $ to is a U.S. 501c3 non-profit. If you want to donate a lot of $ to them (regardless of your eBay bid or even if you win) you can even send a check or wire money.

More info is on this page www.acehaid.org.
