GREAT little coffee/donut/ice cream shop in our neighborhood. Toys for the children, friendly service, folks that remember your name, and penny candy. Do I really need to explain why I love this local place?

Urban Agriculture

Joshua and I went to a *great* city council meeting in Ypsilanti, MI last night. I was there to support the discussion surrounding whether or not to allow chickens in the city. Very exciting conversation, and an engaging (even if slightly rushed) presentation by the ED of Growing Hope. I’m particularly impressed with this organization [...]

Discipline and Disciple II
February 11, 2009
So. With little or no positive feedback, I was thinking maybe this was just vanity talking, and more or less composted the marathon idea. But the idea wouldn’t go away.

Fast Reflections
February 4, 2009
This note is meant to be both a few thoughts about the Zimbabwe solidarity fast I engaged in on Sunday, February 1st; and meant to be done quickly. So in no particular order: Americans are metaphorically bathing in food. Food is just ubiquitous here. The hunger problem in the US is not so much not [...]
