The Infomaniac Racers' Campsite























This is a view of our campsite from atop the waterfall. The Relay for Life consists of 20 sims, a route that will take about an hour to walk, and incredible builds for the public areas. It also has the campsites for the over 80 teams that have been working hard to generate funds to fight cancer.

The campsite is a place for the team members and their friends to relax, talk, dance, and have fun. Because we are all lovers of libraries, we decided to create oversize books that pay tribute to those who have been impacted by cancer. The stories and writings are beautiful. I hope you will come by to see them. I'll send a landmark as soon as the sims are made open to the public. The bridge is called the Booklyn Bridge!

This photograph says hope to me. A new day, another chance to love and be loved. And of course, it says that we are not alone in our desire to rid the planet of cancer.

One of the goals is to have a team member walking the track at all times for the 24 hours of the relay. The reason for this is that cancer never sleeps. I consider each of you an honorary member of the Infomaniac Racers team. If you could walk for one hour in honor of all those who have been affected, it would be a wonderful thing! But, honestly, the kind support you give on a daily basis is reward enough. Haldin and I have had some trying times, but you, dear friend, have made it so much easier to bear.

When we come to SL we know that we are cared about, cared for, and loved! We know that you will help us laugh! You are making a positive difference in our lives. There are not words enough to thank you. But, know that each of you is special. Very special! In many ways you have become our extended family.

Many thanks to Krull Aeon for the terra forming, and the creation of a magnificent water feature that only existed in the imagination. My appreciation to Amalia Broome and Judi Newall for their significant contributions as well.

Maybe a Title Will Come to Me



















Maybe not.

This is me, at the Jazz Cat after a rather long day in both lives. There were good friends here. Friends who don't ask why I'm not dancing. Friends who are happy just being in the same room with me, even when I'm grumpy.

The photograph tells the story. The mood is perfect. The art deco bar, the deep blue colors and the singer's portrait in the corner set a tone. As does the iconic tree of lights.

I'll quit now, because a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

Life is not Fair!

How did this incredible injustice happen? Why did the person on the left get so many pixels to work with, and the poor dear on the right so few? There seems to be a major imbalance in the amount of skin colors available as well!

It just breaks my heart to see this outrageous lack of equality in SL! The underprivileged person is clearly upset about it as well. Her brows are knitted, her lips pursed, her body language stiff with anger! The av on the left looks more than a bit smug over her good fortune.

I think a letter writing campaign to Phil or M Linden is in order! This must not be tolerated! Are you with me?

No Need for a Name on this Office Door!

Just one look will tell who works here! Torley Linden! What an awesome use of shapes, colors and that wonderful quality called creativity! Its so much fun just to look at! And, if you would like a Torley Linden bear, its way at the top, (indicated by obnoxious white arrow I added. Torley would never be so boring).
