1 month plan

Yes, I just got a mac book pro. Its neck-breaking speed, and impeccable design has you chomping at the bit for your own. 55 more hours of scraping paint, filing files, folding papers, and other busy work and I'll have this bad boy paid off, but for now I bask joyfully in its light. You've got to love techiminology.

As usual I have much to say,but this post will be quick and bulleted-- a outline of the next month.

plan for next wave of blogposts

I am having difficulties with attending local events when baseball is every day. I really want to attend the youth power summit April 8th, but have a game. Soon games start and then everything is going to get terribly hectic.

  1. Check out this article (long, but looks like it's right on target!)

    "Mind the Gap: Why do people act environmentally and what are the barriers to pro-environmental behavior?"
