Hey all my children:

I've made a bold and beautiful move and donated _______ to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS with your young and restless spirit(s) in mind. The donation is under the names of Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann, the two guiding lights behind As the World Turn's Luke and Noah ("Nuke" as they are known in certain circles--"Loah" as they are to be known in mine).

As the world turned in 07, I understand you may not have caught the passion for daytime television’s first gay supercouple, but the New Year provides a perfect opportunity to reflect on Loah's trials and tribulations and forget your own. What a blessing not to have to deal with a new school, a demanding internship, an unknown hooker mom, a jilted ex-girlfriend, a homophobic ex-marine father with a shotgun and bloodlust for anyone trying to "take" his son, and Thanksgiving and Christmas with your sometimes lover's family. And that's just Noah's drama.

Seriously you all: these are the days of our lives, and we do, after all, only have one life to live.

Here’s to a great 2008!

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
