Charitable giving: ten over one hundred
Today's Chronicle Magazine also has an article about James Hong's latest venture: ten over one hundred.
James Hong and Josh Blumenstock, who works for James at HOT or NOT, started this venture -- based on an idea they brainstormed -- to encourage and facilitate charitable giving.
We'd recently been wondering how much we should be giving to charity. What's too much, what's too little? For those that don't belong to a religion that tells how much to tithe, it's a big question. We know how much we're supposed to tip the waiter, why aren't there similar rules of etiquette about giving?
James is a neighbor and a good guy. He's already made his pledge.

Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
