You know you've made it...

...in the world of public transit when the driver, over the load speaker, says this:

"Next, the family stop."

And he's talking to you! I know I should be embarrassed for having been pointed out, but really, I'm just flattered that my fellow bus people know me and my girls.

And...

Go to the Al Gore site and let him deliver a message to save the environment to Congress.

Al Gore — you are the renewable resource. Does that make sense?

I just blogged about this on my other blog, but I felt it was worth saying twice.

Al Gore rocks. He just said (during his acceptance speech for best Documentary at the Oscars. Oh Tipper. Who would have thought turtle necks would have brought you here) global warming "is not a political issue, it's a moral issue."

Seriously. He rocks, just like Jennifer Hudson's life.

It's been a month

A month since I've posted last. That's because with winter finally among us, I've had little in the way of outside time. Very few bus trips. Even fewer walks.

So, you might ask, what have you been doing.

Not much. The family got extremely sick. We lived through a major snowstorm. Carolyn had her third birthday.

All in all, it's been pretty uneventful. Even a little depressing. But today, with the temperature inching up and the snow inching down, I'm feeling a little better.

Oh, and the International Panel on Climate Change issued an alarming report that all doomed (not really, but I can read between the lines), but that's old news.
