My new workout buddy

If you couldn't prove me wrong by pointing out the obvious that John Kerry is in Denver, I'd start a rumor that he was kickin it at the gym next to me today. And, in my rumor, he'd be wearing shoooort shorts.  I seriously did a double take when I saw this guy. Boo, I never get to see anyone famous. Well, actually, I saw Hillary Clinton on K Street last year while I was on the bus to work. She looked to be barking orders at two men beside her. Shocking.

Speaking of senators, and on a serious note, please take a minute to check out The Whole Child Initiative to support increased recruitment and retention of school-based mental health staff, particularly in low-income areas where the need is the greatest.  I wholeheartedly believe that the support provided by school counselors, school psychologists, and social workers is critical to the academic achievement of all students.  Please consider sending a quick email to your representatives and senators in support of this initiative.  It'll only take a minute :) 

Sustainability

I enjoy reading smart, succinct, and practical things. This is my friend Keith's blog. He talks about various ways we can help to create a sustainable future AND save money in the process. Good deal. It's really informative and delightful--check it out!!


Note: Besides this, please do not expect to see anything intelligent or in any way useful posted on my blog. It won't happen. My blog is intended to be a running journal of sorts. Whatever comes to mind, whatever mood I'm in, that's what you get. Too lazy to do any research or to commentate on politics, the environment, current events, etc. But if you need a celebrity gossip expert to stand in on your trivia team, I'm your gal.

Bravo

Lis sent this to me today. I almost cried watching it.

This is undoubtedly cliche, but here's my personal wish: May this set an example for others to stop focusing so much on their rigid political agendas and start to see the world first and foremost through the lenses of human beings.

Things would be so much prettier that way.
