A gift came in the mail today from Google. A $100 gift card for use at DonorsChoose.org.

Needless to say I was pretty impressed with the site, the choice of projects to fund, the scope of the problems being faced by public schools and the willingness of the community to congregate for funding.

I chose to fund an English as Second Language program for children at Chatham High School.

What a nice way to end the year.

Burgerquest: The VR

THE CONTINUING SEARCH FOR THE ULTIMATE BURGER

Probably the most overlooked restaurant in Chatham, the Village Restaurant easily serves one of the best burgers in the county. Is the decor dated? Sure. Is the service a tad on the 'relaxed' side? Sure - but the waitresses couldn't be nicer.

It's right next to Ralph's Pretty Good Cafe, so do yourself a favor and go there. You'll thank me.
