There was a Hawaii Bloggers picnic on Sunday, with about 12-15 attendees. Photos should be over at Hawai'i Stories today. When I got home from that, we watched The Music Man and enjoyed it very much. Matthew Broderick and Kristin Chenoweth were great as Prof. Hill and Marian the Librarian. Pop quiz: which forerunner of the musical British Invasion covered "Till There Was You" on their first album?
Since Banned Books Week is over for the year, there's a new button over there on the left. It links to the UN's Population Fund Campaign, which has collected $574,055.57 through February 14.
"Their goal is to find 34 million friends to help UNFPA continue its invaluable work as the largest multilateral provider of family planning and maternal health care."
The $34M goal is to replace the $34M the Bush Administration denied the fund in its last budget for ideological reasons. The Population Fund promotes women's welfare in many ways, one of which is (gasp) contraception, and the Bushies prefer abstinence as their method of "choice."
