Giving Tuesday - I Could Only Pick One Organization

 

Over the course of the year I donate small amounts to several organizations including cultural institutions, medical organizations, and food providers.  They are all worthy organizations.  I hope that they all minimize their overhead so that the funds they receive go to the people who need their help.  It is a tough decision that was somewhat impulsive; today a gave a donation to No Kid Hungry.  They report nearly 4 in 5 households said it had become harder to afford groceries over the past 12 months—the highest percentage tracked yet in their annual poll. My donation today will be matched.

Next month I will donate to another worthy organization.

Orlando Magic 100 Brooklyn Nets 92 at Barclays Center

 

I usually root for the New York Knicks, but the ticket prices at Madison Square Garden are outrageous.  Should I pay hundreds of dollars for 2 1/2 hours of entertainment?  Since the tickets at Barclays Center are much more reasonable, we took a long subway ride to Brooklyn.

The first half was evenly matched, but Orlando pulled ahead in the third quarter.  It got close for a while, but they held on to win by 8 points.  The Magic have now beaten the Nets twice in the last 3 days.  We ate diner at Applebees after the game.
