And speaking of music, it’s the 5th week on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hiphop Single Sales chart for Heaven Davis’ song Regrets (Marty produced) and it’s up to the #4 spot. Continuing congratulations to Heaven. Doesn’t get old saying it.

Japanese national public television gave the Japanese Domo-kun in gratitude for their contributions.
I can’t locate a pic of her right now, but Georgia Public Broadcasting most frequently gives us someone named Karen thanking us during the telethons and cheering us on to give and give more. Karen is fuzzy in a Southern drawl, hairspray [...]
