In honor of AlaskaDeb, do something a little crazy.
I know some folks are sorry that they missed out on the rose or aren't in a position to make a donation. I have another idea and it won't cost a penny. How about we each do something a little insane, a little out of the ordinary? Remember when Deb had her bald head henna-ed? Or when she knit a set of reproductive organs…
