I live in a pretty nice house with heat, and hot water, and the ability to house a bunch of kids tonight for the Malcom Bump Debate Tournament that goes on at our high school each year.

It will be the third time we've done it for the debaters.

They get picked up at 10:00-ish tonight, they collapse into bed, and are up and at 'em by 7:15 Saturday morning.

Every year it's hard to get enough families to house the kids and I always think to myself, I would want someone like me to house MY kids if they needed it. So, we get a few snacks, get some Dunkin' Donuts, apples, and strawberries and send them off to argue for the sheer fun of it.

I write this because I have a friend, Elisha, who is doing amazing work for at-risk teenage girls.

The polar opposite of the teenage girl who lives in my house and the girls I will be housing tonight.

Their mission is to help a particularly vulnerable group, exploited and at-risk teenage girls through their organization, The Crossover Yoga Project.  They bring a curriculum of yoga and creative art therapy to girls in the juvenile justice system, empowering them to make positive changes for a better future.  

I urge you to learn about it HERE, watch the video, and give what you can afford to give.
Because it's Friday, and, because we are ROCKING the salon with '80's music these past few days, we shall, of course, dance!

When this song came on yesterday, I squealed.
Girls -- they wannna have fun
Oh girls just wannna have fun
