'Tis the season to be quacky

Its the time of year to give and to receive.

Ducky's Wishlist
Things I would like others to do:
1) I would like everyone to find a way to give back to their community
check out: http://www.communitywishbook.com/ its a directory of not for profit agencies in the Rochester, NY area that serve to help others. These agencies often rely on the generosity of volunteers with their time and public donations of money and goods.

Some of my favorite organizations are:
Lollypop Farm
to donate go to:
http://www.lollypop.org/org/org6.asp?ssid=&orgid=6&storyTypeID=&sid=&

AIDS Rochester
to donate go to:
http://www.aidsrochester.org/donate.htm

Lifespan
http://www.lifespan-roch.org/

2) Check on an elderly neighbor.
3) Cancel a credit card
4) Buy something organic
5) Dont stand to close to the person at the ATM in front of you. It makes them nervous.
6) Shop a little less at the mall and wal-mart and a little more at indy stores

Lest you think I am entirely too altruistic these are things I want:
7) DUCK TAPE!!! seriously, its a specific kind

easy stick permanent adhesive rollers. This stuff is like crack I go through a ton of it. I buy it in big packs at wal-mart (yeah, see #6, I know )

8) Search Duck at Etsy.com and I probably want it.

9) A kayak with blocks, a paddle, and a pfd.

10) The perfect accessory for Kayaking: Wine
My favorite locals:

I've beet hot on the Banty Red, but have always loved the Pink Catawba http://www.bullyhill.com/

11) Books, the kind with pages and words is that specific enough?
