  1. That article on suicide is fascinating

  2. In reference to the issue of suicide:

    1-800-suicide is struggling for funds to part ways with federal funding in order to provide more compassionate interaction with people who call for help. If you go to the PostSecret website, there is a video explaining it all. Their deadline is May 9th. Please help if you can.

  3. The suicide article makes a lot of sense, and reminds me of the documentary, The Bridge, a haunting chronicle of GGB jumpers.

    Great job on that Shining set. I even spotted a little Danny awaiting his cue.
