I'm sitting here drinking a cocktail and listening to Buddy Guy on PBS.
For the last hour I've been trying to think of one reason not to donate to PBS and I can't think of a one. Somebody help me out here before I give them all of my money.

Don't drink and donate?
ReplyDeleteI take it that you're not married (because presumably your wife would either be drinking with you or provide a strong disincentive from giving away your money), so think of it this way: whether you're actively thinking about it or not, today's choices actively affect tomorrow's outcomes. Wanna buy a house at some point? Don't waste your money now.
Against that, if PBS isn't a waste, then donate what you can afford.
Actually, I am married, she had already gone to bed.
DeleteThat said, I ended up donating five bucks a month - something that I could afford.
*thumbs up* Good choice!
DeleteI certainly think so. Have you donated as well David?
Deletesaw Buddy Guy live at my local performing arts center, he was amazing, a true ambassador for the blues.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am incredibly jealous of you. Every time Buddy comes near me I end up having to either work, or go to the hospital for the birth of my child . . . lame.
DeleteI've shaken Buddy Guy by the hand and met his band when they played here in New Zealand. I also hung out back stage during their performance. An unforgettable experience. As a blues guitarist, he is a huge influence on my music.
ReplyDeleteI am so unbelievably jealous of you right now.
