The 52 Weeks
This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead. Our stories have educated, entertained or inspired many. We hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. — Dr. Seuss I can’t stop thinking about Lauren Spierer, the young woman from Westchester who has been missing since June 3rd. As the days and weeks pass, hope seems to fade.

“Where are the tote bags? I’m not leaving the premises without tote bags. I was promised tote bags and tote bags I shall have.” Seinfeld’s Kramer, volunteering at PBS, in “The Pledge Drive” episode I couldn’t remember the last time I did something just because it was a “good” thing to do.
