Hi Everyone, I'm eleventy jillion years old today! Please use the day to support Kiva, an international micro-lending organization that loans a little bit of money all over the world to people who are too poor to qualify for a regular loan. I joined shortly after Erin was born, and over the last 19 years, I've been thrilled to see the same few dollars loaned out, paid back and loaned again. It's humbling to see how a little money can make a huge difference.

If you support this fund raiser, I think the money goes directly to Kiva, but you can also go to their website at Kiva.org to create a membership and sign up for a specific loan. You won't regret it!

PS I saved this photo from the wonderful Ben Brewer. Ben, please lmk if there's a copyright issue.

Thanks everyone!
