If you want to know, and even if you don't, here are two truths about me:
1. I am a child of public broadcasting, as such, I believe wholeheartedly that generosity should be repaid with commemorative items, the kitchier the better.
2. I have an unusual relationship with a sock monkey. His name is Sackal and he likes to have adventures. He was given to me by a wonderful friend last winter, and soon became a fixture on my facebook profile because he's kind of a ham. He has a yellow swimsuit he calls the banana hammock, but I'm not sure what he means by that.
What do these truths have to do with anything? Well, Sackal has generously volunteered to serve as a pin-up for a limited edition 2012 calendar, which will be given to everyone who donates $100 or more to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in support of my swim, and everyone who donates at any level will receive an autographed Sackal photo. If you would like to support the swim please click here http://pages.teamintraining.org/wch/Hudson11/egallagbvf
Sackal and I have some ideas for his photo shoot, but we could definitely use your help. Please send your ideas in the comment section and help make this the best calendar ever. Also, we're having a bit of a debate for October; lederhosen and a little stein or dressing up as one another, you decide!
Thank you all for your support.
Neil Patrick Harris and his husband have been dressing up their babies thematically for a planned future calendar too, so Sackal's in good company.
ReplyDeleteThe tough ones, I think, are going to be the summer months where there aren't really many specific holidays. Maybe for August he could be harvesting apples or other seasonal bounty?
