birthday boy

My dad's birthday is next week and I never know what to get him.  

I was thinking of sending him a Ruben sandwich from Zingerman's but have decided to buy him a goat instead.  

Heifer International provides livestock, plants and education in sustainable argriculture to communities around the world and they have a great catalog where you can buy a goat, cow, chicken, or rabbit in the name of someone you love.  

"With all the money donated to help famine around he world, with all the plans concieved to conquer poverty, sometimes all it takes to save a child is a goat."
