According to the Red Cross, my blood donation helped at least one patient at John's Hopkins Hospital. Neat.

Today, my mind reflected on the fact that 35 years ago this week (1990!) was the first year that I worked my first holiday season. My time in the retail world is over, but I certainly empathize with anyone who needs to do it.

And here I was, thinking that I was AB negative -- the Red Cross determined that I'm AB positive. Still a rare blood type.
