Phew! At this writing, I’ve just woken from a three-hour nap following a straight 24-hours of reading. The Dewey 24-Hour Read-a-thon was a fabulous challenge to take on, and I’m particularly proud to say that in the process, we achieved our target goal for raising money for First Book. Thank you to the friends and [...]

Post-52 Weeks: Where to now?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Impact 2011 on January 4, 2011 | 4 Comments »
We’ve just taken a few days off to pat ourselves on our backs and celebrate completion of 52 Weeks of Impact 2010. We — with lots of support and encouragement by followers and joiners — have proven “to ourselves and others that we can have positive impact (each week) even with jobs, lives, responsibilities and [...]

Momentarily Off the Grid
Posted in Uncategorized on December 10, 2010 | Comments Off
Yes, we’re still alive and well, but find ourselves a bit “off the grid.” While we do have internet access, it’s very limited and terribly expensive. We’re continuing on with our 52 Weeks Efforts doing a bit with local schools, students and wildlife. Unfortunately, we’ll be very slow in posting. We’ll try to catch up [...]

Due to flu and other 24/7 commitments we didn’t have time to post Week 40′s Impact Effort on-time … Here we go! Worth the wait, I think. Something a little different, brought to you by Nils this week. As you might recall, three weekends ago, we went to the local organic farmer’s market to buy [...]
Station Break
Posted in Uncategorized on October 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Up til now, we’ve been pretty successful in proving “that we can all have positive impact even with jobs, lives, responsibilities and relationships.” I’ve occasionally joked that ”Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail have kept (us) from (our) appointed rounds.” Afraid I met my match this week. Flu. It’s taken over like a vengeance. [...]
Gone hikin’, back soon
Posted in Uncategorized on August 19, 2010 | Comments Off
By no means have we forgotten about 52 Weeks and our friends and followers. We’ve just been off hiking at Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California, with somewhat limited access to the internet. Follow up on our “plastic week” and news on our 33rd week Impact effort to come shortly … some time after [...]
Week 28: … get out of the kitchen, amongst other things
Posted in Uncategorized on July 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I’d like to be able to say that I’m made of tougher stuff. But, I’m now in the outskirts of Washington, DC (built on a swamp, by the way) and am really (really!) enjoying the central air conditioning system at my friends’ home. But, before arriving (I didn’t come to Washington, DC specifically for the air [...]
Week 28: OMG it’s HOT!
Posted in carbon footprint, Eco-Friendly, Energy-Efficiency, Environment, Uncategorized, tagged air conditioning, carbon footprint, Chlorofluorocarbon, environmental impact, freon on July 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »
As I sit here, normally the envy of several friends back in the States, in our beautiful 19th century apartment with double high ceilings and decorative moldings in the historical city of Vienna, Austria, I think back to the days when I wouldn’t be sitting on a ^$%)#*@& hand towel to protect the office chair [...]
The Road to Hell
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Good intentions on May 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Beginning of Week 18, we were filled with our usual weekly good intentions and high hopes! We’ve since decided to just be happy that we made it through 17 weeks with few hitches. You see, mid-Week 18, Nils shuffled into the apartment, in slo-mo removed his suit jacket, and dragged himself down the hallway to [...]
