I will be in Phoenix 1/11 – 1/19. I will be in Tucson over the weekend, but other than that nothing is set yet. Maybe getting together with the Addie clan Sunday afternoon for a late lunch? In the first half of October I signed up to volunteer at an English language school. I was thinking of what I could do after my year in Portland was up and teaching over seas was still on the top of my list. I thought it would be good to get some experience to a) make sure I like it and b) to have some good experience to add to my resume.

Can you image if Coke, Pepsi, and all of the other cola and beer manufactures went this route how much pollution and energy could be saved? Came across an article about food stamps that stated “nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood.” Another article states that “more than 36 million people use inconspicuous plastic cards for staples like milk, bread and cheese.” How freaking scary is that! I am very grateful that the program exists and is able to take care of so many people, but it is sad that the program is even needed. This was his favorite song growing up. Last weekend I finally made it to the Japanese Garden in Washington Park. Continue reading Japanese Garden |
