Happy Earth Day.

Some will say that we do not do enough to protect the environment; others will say that we are on the right track to achieving balence between consumption and conservation. I say-- regardless of your politics, today is a day to celebrate our stewardship and to get our hands dirty. If you want to change the world, begin in your own back yard. That is what The Pink Princess and I will be doing today. Hope to see you there.


Ps. Thanks to all of the "mud dogs" who participated in the clean up today. Especially to Keith, Laura, Tony, Josh, and Aaron. You are the salt of the earth.

“This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.” -Walt Whitman
