I’m not sure if this is a “green tip” or just a “money-saving tip”. Either way.
Just a quick thought which I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned earlier. But I thought about it this morning as I pulled down my space heater out of the attic.
For the last 2 winters, Anna and I have used (for [...]

I was talking to Eric on the phone this afternoon and he said my thoughts on water this weekend weren’t feasible. Or at the very least unfair. To which I agree. His point was that each house shouldn’t be rationed the same amount of water. That it wouldn’t be fair for a house of [...]
Georgia is about to become a natural disaster area. It sounds drastic. But unless you live in the Atlanta/North Georgia area, you really have no idea how bad it has gotten. We live about 5 minutes from the DAM in question. We go there for walks all the time with Jack.

Well it was bound to happen and one night it did. The podcast came home and it was just us kids. He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine. If he was looking to surprise he was doing fine.
Sorry. Not sure how Garth Brooks just came out of me like that.
Anyway . . [...]
We’ve got a new podcast up. It’s a short little conversation between Ariah Fine (pronounced a-RYE-ah) and myself about corporate responsibility. It’s sort of a continuation and development of some of the themes that we discussed in our collaborative blogging effort called Corporate Responsibility Mondays.
This will also be a new monthly feature where we will [...]
