It was a good day

Yesterday morning a bald eagle flew right over my car on the way to work. It seemed like a good omen. Last night I went to observe the City of Menasha Sustainability Board meeting. It was great! It was better than I expected and I plan to get involved. There is a book called "The Natural Step" which has a procedure to help communities become more sustainable through a four step system. Some of the topics covered were: solar panels to augment the city pool heating system and a possible solar cover. Native plantings in different locations of the city. Approval of some electric cars for in-city travel. I even got to contribute. The only downfall to the whole deal is that the meetings are on Tuesday nights and my favorite show is on Tuesday nights. I guess I'll get over it. Monty, is there a way for me to record it if I don't have cable or a working VCR???
And the final good thing of the day: I brought home some crab dip from yesterday's pig-out (we have pig outs once a week at least). It occurred to me that it might be good to mix it with Kim-chee. It was delicious. I have been pretty bored with my kim-chee of late and sometimes have to force myself to eat it.

Slackin

Wow, last post was Dec 2nd. I'm a slacker!
Shall we talk books, breifly? I recently read "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austin and enjoyed it more than I thought I would even though it was totally predictable. Then I read "Wuthering Heights" by EmilyBrontë. That was not what I expected at all. I think it is the first book ever written about white trash. There were some very unsavory characters in that book. I enjoyed it even though it tended to put me in a foul mood. Now I'm reading "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
Tonight is my first City of Menasha "Sustainablity Meeting". The Mayor has offered me a seat on the board, but I think I will just go observe tonight before I make any rash decisions.
Hm, what else? It's really flippin cold out! Sheesh! Why do I live here???
Greg and I might be heading up to Rhinelander for Christmas. His sister lives up there and has invited us. I am hoping we will be there long enough for me to get my snowshoes out on some logging trails.
The skating rinks are open around town. Hoping to get out and do some skating this winter. Two Christmass ago my mom bought me some beautiful, professional figure skates to the tune of over $200. At that time I was planning to move to Camp Longwood which has the ultimate skating rink. I do still love to skate though!!

Did I mention that I don't like football?

Sooooo, last week I couldn't watch my two of my favorite shows because of stupid Packers playing football Monday. I missed Samantha Who. She was dating this hot guy who was a tree hugger. Now this week she's not!! I totally missed what happened!
Boston Legal only has one more show and it is over. I missed the 3rd to last! Stupid Packers.

I wanna move to Costa Rica!

Hi Peeps. Not much going on with me. Car is still in the shop. Snow sucks. Might get to go up to Rhinelander for Christmas. Hoping I can get some use out of my snowshoes!
Oh yeah, and I'm watching the Lynda.com training videos for Adobe Illustrator CS3. I can't seem to get a copy of CS3 using torrents. Anyone?
