I’ve had some amazing coworkers in my life. And if I could give them all something, it would be an enrollment in the Ecology of Leadership course coming up at Regenerative Design Institute.
Earlier this month I attended a one-day introduction to program, and came away wishing not only that I could take the course, [...]
On July 2, I got five new baby Americana chicks to add to my existing flock of two Barred Plymouth Rocks, hoping to end up with about five hens total after the inevitable goofs in chick sexing. (Sure enough, I’ve got at least one and up to three roosters in this new batch of [...]
I’ve been slogging away at projects in the back yard, trying to transform it into a permaculture paradise. It’s been slow going, and sometimes it seems less than rewarding.

Steve and I planned an East Bay day last week, wanting to visit a few places we’ve come to know and love: the Oakland Museum of California, the Bone Room, and the East Bay Vivarium. What we needed was a lunch stop, so I turned to Twitter, and Marc twittered back a recommendation for [...]
Bicking’s sister and her boyfriend are among the people arrested — some still in custody — over the weekend in Minneapolis. His post is a must-read for anyone seeking insight to what’s happening between police and protesters at the Republican National Convention. It includes several excellent links for further reading as well, and [...]
A week ago tonight, Steve and I got to see Steely Dan in concert.
It’s true that the sound wasn’t that great for someone who didn’t know all the lyrics by heart (and since then, I’ve also been plagued with problems of every conceivable music-playing appliance…computer iTunes is shot, the iPod is crapped out, the kitchen [...]
The Earth Activist Training Sustainable Skills Bus — the PermieBus — was pulled over by Minneapolis law enforcement and impounded, leaving the Wilson family standing beside the road with their chickens and dog and without any of their belongings (thankfully the police allowed the Wilsons to get their animals off the bus but would [...]
