Curt Shilling and his wife Shondra walk the walk. I hope to see more stories that show some light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for making me smile today Curt, oh and you are my favorite baseball player too.

Yay, Curt.

You know, yesterday we watched the game and afterwards, they interviewed Schilling. He looked terrible, like he was going to cry. I think at one point he did. Of course, I've seen him look terrible after losses before, but I said to my husband, "I know he takes losses hard but this is a little too much. Especially with the hurricane aftermath. Hmmm....I wonder if that's making him more upset." Well, he may have only been upset about the game, but it appears he was affected, like many of us.

(Maybe we could have one thread for athletes, since I doubt Curt is going to be the last athlete to help out)

Carl Edwards, Nascar driver and winner of this weeks BUSCH race, along with Kyle Busch, winner of this weeks Nextel Cup race, have both donated their winnings to the relief effort. This was Kyle's first win.

A 4-year-old boy who suggested setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for children left homeless by Hurricane Katrina has $1,603 and counting.

Along with three siblings and a cousin, Cameron Frueh sold lemonade and bottled water outside the family's Hyde Park home over the Labor Day weekend.

The children wore masks and Mardi Gras beads because they love visiting an aunt whose Louisiana home was destroyed by the storm, Cameron's father, Douglas Frueh, said Monday night.

The kids didn't set any prices, but asked people to donate something for a cool drink. The woman who made the biggest donation, $100, took nothing, Laurie Frueh said.

Most people donated $5 or $10 for a cup or two of lemonade, Douglas Frueh said.

Cameron was assisted by his brother, Clayton, 2, sisters Isabella, 14, and Grania, 16, and 6-year-old cousin Taylor McMullen of Dayton.

"The adults would ask the kids, 'What are you doing with this?' And even the 2-year-old would give the answer, 'It's for the people in New Orleans who don't have homes,'" Laurie Frueh said.

Wow, what a wonderful thing to do. If every movie star, sports star, etc. took one family and did the same thing it would make such a difference.

God love 'em. That's a precious story.

Carl Edwards, Nascar driver and winner of this weeks BUSCH race, along with Kyle Busch, winner of this weeks Nextel Cup race, have both donated their winnings to the relief effort. This was Kyle's first win.An added note regarding the race:

California Speedway is very near me and during the races our freeway system is jammed for a couple of days and we usually all complain.

BUT, at the gate this time they were getting donations from the droves of people coming in, and it was great. It still hasn't been reported how much was collected as of yet. I think it may have been in conjunction with Stater Bros Markets which has been collecting money all last week for the RedCross.
