In the last two years, this soup kitchen in Harrisburg has seen a 20 percent increase in clients, yet contributions are dwindling.

One of the economic tactics I want to try to save money in the near future is to buy a quarter side of beef and store the cuts in our freezer. So... any suggestions where to do this at?

Both kids are now registered in the Cumberland Valley Youth Basketball Association. Evaluations are in late October, practices start pretty soon after that. Basketball season around our house is a very busy time, but a fun time - I really enjoy it.

Now that we have two kids in this league, I've had to make a decision, and this year I'll coach our oldest and assistant coach the youngest. Games and practices will conflict and the head coach really should be there unless of an emergency - that's the commitment you make to the kids on the team, and their parents.

The sad part of that is that this is likely to be my last year of head coaching hoops for the oldest. She and I have already discussed it, and the three of us (including the youngest) are in agreement - next year she'll need a different coach, hopefully someone who can bring coaching and kid talents to the table that I don't, and I'll head coach his team as well.
