This project began many years ago now, and it hasn't wrapped up yet.
The photo on the main page just shows part of the quilt, and it seems enormous already - but it's still only part of it all...
According to the site, AIDS has claimed 21.8 MILLION lives to date, 3 million of them last year alone. Very sobering statistics.

World Aids Day really begins in a few hours, but I'll be at work tomorrow, and most of it will be over and done with by the time I get home.

Sir Paul McCartney was wrongly blasted for his seeming blasé attitude when John Lennon died. Really, it was shock when the news was just tossed at him.

My Sweet Lord... the writing was very likely on the wall with the report earlier this year, even though it was proclaimed false.
George is the second Beatle lost to the world, after John Lennon in the 1980s...

Only 58. Taken from us too young, as John was. We'll miss you George. I have to go on with my life now, While my Guitar Gently Weeps.

My mom had her first cataract surgery today. It went well, it was also a very short time. Still, she must have felt awful under local anesthetic for it.
