eggwardsIt's a beautiful morning in Houston. It's 65 degrees and partly sunny. Normally on a day off I'd be sleeping right through this, but this morning I've decided to do something positive for the community. I'm walking in the Houston AIDS Walk. It's the first time I've done so.
A friend of mine, Rex Oates, the news director of 94.5 the Buzz is captain of the team for the radio station and he invites listeners to come walk as well. Rex and I go back to the days when I was a theater major in college, and we often worked the ticket booth together. There are several different teams, both organizations and corporations. I know that BP and JP Morgan Chase have large groups.
The walk is about 3 and a half miles up and down Allen Parkway, next to Buffalo Bayou. It's a little longer than my normal walks, but I should be able to take it with no problems. Two of my fellow management staff coworkers are also going to be walking with other groups, so we'll see if I spot them during the course of the walk.
The walk raises awareness and money for the AIDS Foundation Houston. I'll admit, this is my first real community effort, besides attending a couple of Pride Parades and a good one to be involved in. AIDS has only touched my life a little, personally, but as a society, we've payed dearly from this disease. (I know, we know that, but it bears repeating.)
Time to get out to the starting line.
