This weekend (June 28/29) I'm going to be riding my ass off (hopefully not literally) in the National MS Society's annual MS150... That's 150 miles on a bike over 2 days... why, you may ask, would I do something so crazy? Well, I might answer, it's to raise money for the National MS Society which sponsors research for treatments and (hopefully) a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. They also provide resources and support for people living with MS (you can read their whole spiel here).

While I've raised enough to participate, I'm still quite a bit short of my goal, so I'm asking y'all, hat in hand, to go to http://chaingang.zikzak.us and throw in a few (US tax-deductible) bucks. If people show an interest, I'll post some pics along the way of the scenic Massachusetts coast (signal permitting).

That's my spiel. Thanks for your time. Try the veal. Don't forget to tip your waiter.

That'd be pretty self-defeating of me, under the circumstances. :)

Well, I've successfully completed the ride, and raised a few more Quatools, but I'm still a bit short of my (somewhat arbitrary) target. If you feel so inclined, please toss a couple of bucks (I'm talking 10 or so, not hundreds) at my donation page. (I'm doing another, smaller, ride at the end of August, and donations accumulate)
