On a personal note....

It never felt right to me.  This time of year when all the trees dress up in beautiful Autumn colors, right before the stores turn red and green for Christmas, they turn pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Having watched my sister battle and eventually die from breast cancer at 45 years old you would think I'd jump wholeheartedly into the pink pandemonium, however it never felt right to me.

Awareness is a good thing.  Remember when there was Aids Awareness?  Then there was research and finally a suitable way to live with the disease, if not a total cure.  It seems like breast cancer has had a lot of awareness and still women die from it.  A lot of women.  Women who are otherwise very healthy people.
