lookin' out

i have always been a proponent of supporting the local community in whatever way possible. a good way is hitting of ma & pop shops, restaurants, whatever. a couple of my favorite tucson restaurants are rocco's little chicago pizzeria, buddy's grill, kenny d's and el guero canelo.

i am also a firm believer we should spend money wisely. as things get more difficult i hope we keep others in mind...specifically the "little guy". i often default to big box stores and chain restaurants, one because it seems more convenient and two because i feel i'm saving money. i default this way instead of attempting to hook a brotha up. a couple of my brothas are designs in steel and avspecialists@cox.net, for all you metalwork and audio/visual needs.

along with my "brothas" is my daddy...my actual father. he works at a smaller publishing company, intervarsity press, and like many businesses, they have been taking a hit recently. i hate to tell people not to save money by getting used books though amazon, its just something to consider.

if you would like to know more about this publishing house and support it at the same time you can check out heart.soul.mind.strength. by this guy i know.
