In 1995 General Hospital's beloved character "Stone" died of AIDS at the age of 19. He also infected his girlfriend Robin with HIV. (She's still on the show dating Dr. Patrick Drake.) But Stone and Robin are fiction, and sadly there are millions of real people living with HIV/AIDS. I'm thinking of them today.Friday, December 1, 2006
World AIDS Day
Today and every December 1st is World AIDS Day. I am involved in some local AIDS organizations in Buffalo personally and through my working at a church. It's a cause that I came to champion after a fantastic storyline on, of course, General Hospital. Yes, I'm serious, and I know it's pathetic, but if anything it goes to show you that soap operas aren't a waste of time.
