Tomato Nation » Support Local Biz: August 24, 2009

Baseball

“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.

Culture and Criticism

From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.

Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Stories, True and Otherwise

Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

The Vine

The Tomato Nation advice column addresses your questions on etiquette, grammar, romance, and pet misbehavior. Ask The Readers about books or fashion today!

Support Local Biz: August 24, 2009

My great good friend Hud is Director of Development at an organization called Freedom Calls; the foundation’s mission is to deploy the latest technology to keep servicemen and -women in Iraq in touch with their families, which despite internet and phone advances in recent years is even harder than you might assume.

NBC Nightly News featured the organization recently, in the video embedded below. If you know anyone in the armed forces who might benefit from the FCF’s work, please forward the link to them or their families.

Good show, Hud.
