So a friend at work bought a raffle ticket....

The raffle was part of a fund raiser yesterday for a father and son both fighting different forms of cancer. So my co-worker walked in this morning with a vintage bottle of French wine. A red that was bottled during WWI. The other two bottles were a more recent vintage.

I'm so jealous.

Why the raffle? I thought the days of holding raffles and having jars on counters for people needing medical help was over. Nothing angers me more than seeing a community unite by holding those type of drives when the same group, all good Christian people, rant and rail against universal health care.
