Another very cool Google thing - Garbagescout - good garbage sitings in New York. http://www.garbagescout.com/

A note about eating. Last night was the smallest Thanksgiving gathering in many years. Just 5 of us. Here in the kitchen eating and drinking. We started with 20 minutes of Yoga - to stretch out those abdominals before the big meal. It wasn't really such a big meal, however. I dissected a turkey (thank you turkey). That, I promise myself, is the last time I do such a thing - a pretty disgusting

Buy Nothing Day and I am tempted to buy something - from here. I am particularly drawn to the gift of a 'Dowry for an Orphan'. It consists of two goats. But it's so hard to decide.....A 'Bike for a Midwife' also caught my eye. 'A Bicycle Taxi Business', 'A Virile Ram', 'Sight for a Child', it's so hard to decide!

My only saving grace is that I grow some of our food organically.

I put Google ads on my site, mostly to see what they are, to create another dimension. I'm not supposed to click on them. But I want to. So, you do it and tell me where they go? Ok?

I painted Georgetoday. He is lookingoldandgrey.Haggard. Scared?

George Bush - Stupid or Not?? My friend and I have been having a discussion about George Bush: stupid or not? I take the former view. He the latter. His definition of intelligent (= not stupid) - the ability to use the mind to solve problems, to reach a desired goal. In that case, anyone who can find the restroom in a restaurant is intelligent. As for George, the only goal he seems to have
