Happy New Year!
Vacation is over and I am catching up on all my album and print orders. It is finally cold outside! The weather started warming up just after we saw “An Inconvenient Truth”. Gore picked the right year to release this film. If you haven’t seen this film yet you should. An awesome display of evidence in responce to Bush’s claim that global warming doesn’t exist. Anyway, India and I have been enjoying kicking the soccer ball back and forth out in the cold as she waits for her bus. I feel like a New Englander with our fun in the cold. Who knew that I could even have fun in 30 degree weather. I guess I am no longer a California girl.Â
We have had dun dreaming about building a green house this week. We visited the National Building Museum in DC and toured the Glide House that is there for all to walk through. If you haven’t heard, pre-fab housing is the latest cool thing in building. To have a house that is not hooked up to any utilities would be even cooler. A self sustaining house… what could be better?
It sounds like this year is off to an activist start. Ha! Oh ya, there’s one more radical thing we are changing in our lives. We have started this year by saying bye-bye to the Atkins mentality and hello to vegetables. Not that we were ever on the Atkins diet, but you have to admit that our entire nation was swept into a no carb frenzy. Every once in a while I am reminded of nutrition and the importance of eating right. This year “The China Study” has helped me to remember all the things I had forgotten… and didn’t know.Â
