OT - EarthquakeAs those of you who follow follow my posts know, I have encouraged people on this Board to donate to various charities to help those less fortunate.
I had thought about contributing to the earthquake relief efforts in Turkey and Syria but hadn't done so.
At dinner with my wonderful wife this evening, there was a segment on the news about the earthquake and there was an interview with a Syrian who had lost 20 relatives and close friends and was injured and said he wasn't sure why he wanted to live. My wife looked at me and asked "Have we contributed to help these people? I talked to Fejda today (a close Turkish friend of ours) and she said that things were really bad there and she didn't didn't know if her cousin was still alive"
Embarassed, I said I hadn't contributed as yet. I got "the look" (most guys here will know what I mean) and said I will send a contribution to the Canadian Red Cross after dinner.
I encourage those of you here who have the means to help out.
