I gave blood during my lunch break today. I did the double red cell thing again, which is always so much fun for me. I like watching the machine work. I'll be back in March.

If you can donate blood, you should.

I gave blood this afternoon. Did the double red cell thing.

If you're able to give blood, you should do it, too.

I'm catching up on my unread mail tonight. In my pile of mail was a letter from the Red Cross. They seem to really like the fact that I go donate blood often and am part of their "Members For Life" program. So much so, that they're going to send me a gift of my choice. I chose the baseball cap.

I love donating blood. Almost every time I go, they give me a T-shirt. Now, it looks like every year, they'll give me something like a baseball cap. Of course, there's the real cool thing that my blood can be used by people who need it.

I guess one day, they'll come up with a synthetic substitute for blood. There's probably someone working on trying to figure that out right this minute. That would be pretty cool.
