Weekly Recap - 9/16-9/22

Here's what happened this past week in the life of my blog:

• Darfur Day

I'm heading to the movie at the Belcourt a little later as Nashville does its part to take place in the Global Day for Darfur.

• CoolPeopleCare Weekly Roundup (9/11-9/15)

• Darfur Ideas

I felt motivated to act like never before, but I also felt completely paralyzed by my own ignorance of how to act.

• Bagged Spinach and Islam

I don't judge all spinach based on the misguided actions of a few who wanted to hurt people.

• My Words, Their Site

Last week, I met with the nice folks who run this site and they asked me to pen a few pieces.

• Proof That It Works

With all things being equal (cost of electricity, degree days, etc.), this is a savings of about $20 over last year. And, by using 173 fewer kilowatt hours, I kept about 167 pounds of coal in the ground this month.

• David Sedaris Doesn’t Do It For Me

I have absolutely no urge whatsoever to read another one of his books.

• Guns and Prayer

This measure needs to be defeated and the bill not passed (despite its need) to state clearly that if any elected official tries to stick crap on important bills that look like they’re going to pass, well, it ain’t gonna fly!

• Sacrificing Issues on the Altar of Politics

For me, at greater stake is the delicate line between church and state.
