In 2004, I became a registered member of the National Marrow Donor Program which is now Be The Match Registry^SM. Saving a life doesn't always require money or to be in the right place at the right time. For many of the thousands of patients with leukemia and other life threatening diseases, a bone marrow transplant is the only hope for a cure. 70% of patients in need of donors do not have matches in their families and need our help. For more information, visit www.marrow.org There is a fee to join.

If you are looking for something to do in Baltimore this weekend, may I suggest going to Restaurant Row off of Market?

This summer, I saw 2 great concerts: the B-52s and a Bruce Springsteen cover band at Rams Head. If you are not in the mood for a concert, you can always try one of the restaurants. Sadly, on Sept. 6, Babalu Grill closed = ( They had fantastic Latin food.

Last weekend, I went to a piano bar on The Row called Howl at the Moon.

This place is guaranteed to put even the worst of moods to rest - it worked for me! There is a cover charge of $5 and drinks are a little pricey, but it is well worth the money. Once you are stamped, you can come and go as you like. Howl at the Moon does not serve food, but since it is located on Restaurant Row, it is easy to get carry out and bring it back to the bar. The band is staged in the center of the bar (2 pianos, drums, and guitar) and plays whatever you request (for a few dollars, of course).

Of course, this Catholic girl who did start much too late (if you know this song, you'll understand why I say this) had to request Billy- helllooo, it's a piano bar! The band players not only are musically talented, they are entertaining, too, and keep the atmosphere lively. So, I had a great time and I think you could, too!

BTW, if you could read the dry erase board, you would see that someone paid to have "Yankees Suck" written. For a higher sum, you could have it changed. I was thinking something political, but didn't go there ; )

Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana introduced into the House of
Representatives, House Resolution 615 which puts all Congressmen and
Congresswomen under Obamacare.


If you support such an amendment after signing Rep. Fleming's
petition, here is a letter you can download and send to your own
representative asking him or her to support House Resolution 615.



I, ______________________, fully support House Resolution 615, which
expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who
vote in favor of the establishment of a public, federal government
run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to
participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP)
and agree to enroll under that public option.

I urge my representative, __________________, to become a cosponsor
of the resolution and be willing to be accountable for any vote they
make to reform health care in America.
