Three good things:
1. My son has raised $12,000 for www.aidslifecycle.org In June he is joining in a 7 day, 545 mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS
2. Researching London accommodation
3. Being able to walk away.
I so often see shoes hanging from wires!! Your son sure raised a lot of money and that is a great ride he is going to do, stunning scenery along that stretch of coast.
