summer rain
As I was walking home, it started raining one and a half blocks before I got to my house. I had an umbrella in my backpack, but I opted not to use it. I wanted to have the experience of being rained on. I highly recommend the experience.

the different drummer goes against the grain
A month or two before I started the regimen, I almost returned a belt I'd just bought because it felt a bit too tight. Five months later, I've stopped wearing the belt because it no longer fits me. It's too loose.

where have our elections gone? long time passing…
Let’s think about this. If someone resorts to soundbites that distort the issues rather enlighten the public, can we really trust such a person to govern honestly, fairly, and on behalf of all people? Quite frankly, I don’t. But there seem to be very few campaigns that avoid such tactics these days.
celebrate march 32nd! er, um, april fool!
I’ve always strongly believed that Wisconsinites have a better sense of humor than most of the nation, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that April Fool’s Day here is celebrated with a remarkable degree of reverence. Or irreverence, as it were. In any case, I would submit that it is celebrated here at least as much as Flag Day. I think.

paper swimming pools and fear of the future
Looking back, I realize that a lot of the choices I’ve made in life have been influenced in part by worries about the future. I spent nearly seven years working for the environmental movement, and my twelve-year fundraising career was indirectly spurred by this desire to make a difference.
