Housecleaning stuff for a Monday morning....

I am seriously glad last week is over. It was a very slow news time-I like it much more when our elected representatives are around to do stupid things.

Ad stuff- When we first got the ad for Blue House, I popped over there and fell in love. Eco-Friendly, carbon offset shipping no less!! Check out their site, and if you're in the Baltimore area, you probably already know about them. Neat stuff.

Representative Kucinich has a 12 point plan for peace. Worth checking out.

Paul Rieckhoff's book is a compelling read (almost done here), and all the other books that are noted in the sidebar are perfect summer reads.
