Happy 75th Birthday to Mary Tyler Moore, seen here at a Broadway opening in September.
Mary has been a champion of diabetes, and has worked closely with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. As many of you know, my imaginary daughter Amy has juvenile diabetes.
Won’t you make a donation in Mary’s honor? Thanks!

That vision of loveliness and good in the world (I didn’t say which world), Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wore her Annie Oakley getup (again) to the DecAid Light for Life Ceremony at Salisbury Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the conflict in Afghanistan.
And it looks like she’s made a new friend.
I’m sure that Camilla is almost ready for beatification. If she plays her royal cards right, it could be in the next twenty minutes.
