I still write those AI letters. I also click on over fifty charity sites a day. It's a bit obsessive. (Some, like Doctors Without Borders, you can click on 20 times.) If I forget to do it one day, I feel guilty the next day.

Until a few days ago, there was a site where you could drag a dollar a day into a piggy bank and a philanthropist contributed a dollar to charity. I guess he went broke.
