World Problems

I think the three major problems of the planet are in no particular order environmental destruction, religious fanaticism and unequal distribution of wealth. They are all getting worse and hardly anyone is really trying to change things.

Comming up for the 4th of July weeekend.

Joann gives a talk on tablescapes on Wednesday. We have a Gallery walk on Thursday, an opening of an exciting show by Jim Casper, and the Cross village Parade on Saturday at 1:00pm. The Walshs have their 40th on Saturday also. Busy weekend to start the season.

Hookers

I took Amy Oxford to her plane this morning ending a great visit and a three day workshop where they hooked coverings for foot stools. Amy is a terrific teacher and interesting person. Sorry for those of you who missed her visit.

project Restart

I started this blog but quickly ran out of ideas or maybe I am just shy. Susan T. thought I could use it to talk about Three Pines. So I will. We have just finished another great class with Stuart Shils. I think it was his best but maybe it was the best bunch of students that we have ever had. I hope everyone was as stimulated by the class as Joann and I were. Check out the class picture.

I heard Mario Armstrong this morning on NPR. He was making the strong case for broadband. He was right on. I could write a book on how important this is for students, business, medical, fire and police, recreation, communication. For something I wrote go to www.threepinestudio.com/primer.htm.

Blogs

At dinner we talked about what blogs are for. I still do not know but we will keep typing. You've heard stream of awareness before so maybe blogging means you are still alive and communicating.

This morning about 4:pm the almost full moon was going down over the lake. Priceless! This is why we live here . Right?

blogging

I started this blog but could not think of what to say. Maybe I'm shy. Anyway, after watching Julia,Julie I said I can do this.

They say no tax increase but about the fact that state road money has been going down. A four cent a gal tax would only restore the funds so really not an increase. We need the infrastructure.

They say that corporations have rights but with no morals or ethics. They have the right to buy any election I guess.
