Week-long Welcomings from Moosylvania: January 18th

Welcome to The Moose Pond! The Welcomings posts give the Moose, old and new, a place to visit and share words about the weather, life, the world at large and the small parts of Moosylvania that we each inhabit.

Welcomings will be posted at the start of each week (usually Saturday night with a Sunday date). To find the posts, just bookmark this link and Voila! (which is Moose for “I found everyone!!”).

The format is simple: each day, the first moose to arrive on-line will post a comment welcoming the new day and complaining (or bragging!) about their weather. Or mentioning an interesting or thought provoking news item. Or simply checking in.

So … what’s going on in your part of Moosylvania?

NOTE: The comments page will split off after 20 or so left margin comments with the most recent comments on the current page.

    When members of WCK’s #ChefsForJamaica teams spoke with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness about our efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, we made sure he knew that Jamaicans were at the heart of all 6.6 million meals we served. (1/3)

    Hurricane Melissa deepened an already extremely fragile situation in #Haiti, where millions of children have long lived in fear, displacement and deprivation.
