    The Origins of Super Organizer Girl

    Everyone has, or ought to have, a superhero alter ego, right? I’ve been dreaming up a supergirl for Project Simplify for at least a couple of years now. I’m still not sure how she’ll be plugging in to the grand scheme of things, but I thought the time ripe to at least make her presence [...]

    Soothing the waves

    coeficiente de reflexión Originally uploaded by bachmont If I were a lake–besides the point that this is a rather improbable proposition–if I were a lake and I could feel the surface of my waters… what would it feel like?

They remind us that “First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt planted a Victory Garden on the White House lawn in 1943 over the objections of the USDA” Go Eleanor!! Being a fan of locally grown organic produce, I’d love to see the new White House inhabitants [...]

    Breaking in shoes and habits

    little green book Originally uploaded by shonski Big change on the daily morning planning front. Swapped evening for morning. WhooBoy. Look out. There are already so many things to do in the morning, that doing planning and downloading-from-the-previous-day was either forced or not happening. Consciously adopting a new habit is an interesting proposition. By taking [...]
