Hi friends,

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is almost here, and I’m so close to reaching the fundraising minimum. I need to raise $2,300 by October 2nd to be able to walk, and thanks to your generosity I’m already at $1,786.97.

That means I’ve got just $513 left to raise in the next few days. Every donation, no matter the size, gets me closer — and every dollar supports breast cancer research, community programs, and patients who need help now.

👉 You can donate here: http://www.the3day.org/goto/jayfurr

This event is deeply meaningful to me, and I’d be so grateful for your support in helping me cross the fundraising finish line before I even set foot on the 60 miles.

Thank you for standing with me. Time is short, but together we can do this.

I need your help! 🚶‍♂️💗 This November I’ll be walking 60 miles in 3 days at the Susan G. Komen 3-Day in San Diego. It’ll be my 25th walk, and this year I’m dedicating it to a friend we lost to breast cancer this spring.

I have to raise $2,300 by Oct 2 to participate — money that goes to fight breast cancer. If you can chip in, I’d be grateful.

I am not going to be deleting my Facebook account, Instagram account, and Threads account just yet, but after the absolutely reprehensible things Meta and Zuckerberg did over the past few days, such as eliminating all transgender accomodations at Meta offices, discontinuing fact-checking, allowing users to refer to GLBTQ individuals as "mentally ill" and "freaks" and women as "property", discontinuing Meta's diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, removing all GLBTQ themes from Messenger......

We recently took a 7-night trip to Key West, Florida. We arrived the Friday before Christmas and flew back the Friday after. Highlights included: drinking, eating, bar crawling, more drinking, sky…

I have had a throbbing, occasional pain just above my right ankle, on the outside of the leg, for a couple of years now. Probably screwed it up somehow doing a Susan G. Komen 3-Day or training for one or something. The pain comes and goes and can be pretty intense at times. I finally saw a doctor about it and got X-rayed (they found nothing out of the ordinary) and wound up going to sports medicine and a rehab gym....

Since I've posted about cold and snow recently, I thought I had better show you the end result of the most recent winter storm that came through northern Vermont. We got about a foot, or perhaps a little more as the snow had had a little time to compress by the time I took the photo below. It's very fluffy snow but it'll be good for snowshoeing after a day or two. ...

How you know that you've got the "Vermont" zap on your brain: you look out the window and see this much snow and go "eh, we didn't get very much."

I am very stupid in certain ways. I live in a snowy northern clime (northern Vermont) but my Southern upbringing makes me want to get up in the morning, put on a t-shirt, underwear, and shorts and wander around the house barefoot all day. There typically comes a point where I realize that continual boosting of the thermostat is ineffective and costly and that I should just, you know, put on a sweater or sweatshirt -- or even…...

So obviously tonight's a Jeppson's Malort kind of night (my team, the Georgia Bulldogs, having pooched it in the Sugar Bowl), and when I went to find the four minibottles remaining in my pack of six, I COULDN'T FIND THEM. I was left with several alternatives, all worrisome or outright frightening: some thief had broken in and stolen only them (why???)...

I am fifty-seven years old. I realize that I graduated high school FORTY YEARS AGO. I'm old, thankyouverymuch. I don't have children. I have, realistically, next to no idea what they teach kids in schools these days, nor how they go about teaching it. I assume computers and the Internet are involved. There are probably apps that the kids are required to download to their smartphones. ...
