Oh, the irony: smiling, happy faces stamped on plastic bottle caps don’t belong in the belly of a baby albatross. They shouldn’t exist in the first place!
This is what insanity looks like.
Let’s talk about how amazing the bulk section of a grocery store is. Remember when we would go to stores as kids and the idea of bulk candy was both overwhelming and so freaking exciting? I think the bulk foods section is the adult version. Think about it: you get to choose whatever you want…
A recent run-in with an over-packaged “smart” plug led me to realize just how dumb a lot of packaging is.
My previous post was all about inspiration and getting out of the sea of bad news that seems to surround us on a day-to-day basis. For Earth Day 2011, here’s one of the things I’m doing to take action and be optimistic about our future: writing a letter to a restaurant in my area, asking…
Why is it that we always seem to assume the worst in people? We plan for a mess and then create more of a mess in the process. I’m speaking this time of the wastefulness of outdoor bars and restaurants. At some point (and I haven’t done a ton of research so can’t point to…

That’s where I lived on Midway. Say whaaaaat?! Yeah! I kid you not. The side with the random blue boogie board was home to all of Midway’s eager volunteers and we loved that place oh-so-much. Thanks to the power of Google, now you guys can see the island…
Ready? OK, now that we’ve all freaked out, let’s take a breath. *Exhale* After about 2 weeks, it’s finally starting to sinking in and I can finally broadcast the news: I’m going to Midway. Not only am I going to Midway, I’m going there for 4 months. 4 whole months!!! For those of you who are…

Ryan, you need to write a book about this trip…..or an article for some very well-distributed magazine, I doubt anyone would believe it. The picture of that bird and the crap from inside it is heartbreaking! On a similar subject you might like to read a book just released by a friend of mine, matt Rigney; the book is called In Pursuit of Giants, and it is about the ocean’s largest fish and how we are eliminating them….
hope there are some saving graces about your visit, not all horrors like this one….Christine
