Lead-up to the 30 Days of Local Food Project

Okay, so I’ve done an inventory of the contents of my kitchen and it looks like I probably have about two weeks worth of food that is a mix of local and non-local, so you’ll just have to bear with me as I attempt to creatively and responsibly get rid of it (in other words [...]

It’s a tough time just keeping up with myself…

Really. I’m losing steam here. I’ve got a full-time unpaid job, two demanding freelance gigs, and I have suddenly made a commitment to personal fitness so as to avoid looking like a wet pile of laundry when I am old.

She had been home in Kansas City over the holidays when I asked her – in a very off-hand way – if she needed any help at the theatre. “Why, yes, actually!” she replied. My mouth said, “Awesome!
