- Nearly half a billion people escaped extreme poverty the last five years: Brookings report
- What it Means that an Hour’s Work Yields a Week’s Food (Part 1: productivity)
February 22, 2011 – Something I talk about from time to time… globalization has led to a great rebalancing. The people that most need the work are finally able to do it. This means we’re reducing poverty faster than ever before. Is there still work to be done? Sure. But nothing else has ever been close to this effective.
February 22, 2011 – This is also something I talk about all the time. I haven’t really figured out how to explain it very well. Hopefully this article will help…

February 20, 2011 – Very cool! Listen to different accents from around he world!
As we enter into month 2 of my 35th year, I will share more of my “35 Things to Do in My 35th Year” list.
1. Read 35 books. (1 down…2 if you count my script….I don’t. ) I’d better get a move on. : )
7. Make 35 Fun/Lifestyle lists. Like “35 things I love that will never love me back” or “35 movies I love to watch.” (1 down, 34 to go.)
8. Take 35 photos of either 3 or 5 (and have them printed).
9. Get a slack line, and learn to walk it. (join the circus like you wanted to…when you were a kid.)
10. Get a massage. (indulging in self indulgence is harder than it sounds sometimes.)
With only 11 months to go, I suddenly realize I have a lot of work to do….so I’m going to get to it!

February 3, 2011 – Seriously, am I the only one that thinks this is funny?
It’s almost show time for Brian. The boys are halfway through their art class. I’ve gotten a part in the new show at the Art Center and rehearsals start this week. 5k training is progressing. Otherwise, not much going on. I like the idea of doing not much, when there is not much going on…..so as to really have, not much going on. It makes you feel happy that you celebrated the down time, while there was down time to celebrate. Tomorrow, we hike and make art. I’ll finish painting the inside front door. And we’ll clean the house to prepare for the Chinese New Year- I have decided to celebrate that this year. It’s the year of the Rabbit- my year! (everyone elses too, but I’ve just decided to make the most of mine- yahoo!)
