"The Democratic Party must be democratic. The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama, then support the people's choice."

Now that I'm back in Seattle I've been reconnecting with high school friends.  Last night two of them hosted a small get-together that started out reasonable enough.  Wine was consumed, Wii was played, and then things took a turn for the absurd when my most fun-loving and spontaneous friend decided to order up a limo so we could all go surprise some of our other friends who couldn't make it to our party because they live about a half-hour south of the city and have two babies.

So all of a sudden a dozen of us pile into the most monstrous of all monstrous vehicles on planet earth: the stretch hummer limousine.  It was ridiculous!  We crashed our friends, dragged them out of bed, and forced them - to their delight - to host an impromptu party for the next hour.

Grist is an environmental news/humor website I read religiously.  This is the most genius fundraising scheme I've ever seen.

It's soup season and Brendan and I have been experimenting, sometimes following recipes and sometimes not.  I made a great black bean soup recently - accompanied by jalapeno scones - from my moosewood cookbook (which many of you gave me for my birthday a few years ago, thanks!).

In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?

Since my entire dream house consists one room I had to answer this question!  Of course, it's only one room in the technical sense... my dream house will be divided into several rooms.  My dream house is a yurt in San Juan Islands. .. :)  Ahhh some day!  And since it's my dream yurt, let's say it looks something like this on the inside.

More than ever, we are confronted with the sustainability dilemma, "can we find enough leaders in time?" and very soon we will be seeking new students to attend the 2007/2008 "Master's in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability" programme at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to take part in this innovative educational experience on sustainability and leadership.  We are well into the 3rd year of this exciting programme now and as with previous years, participants have been welcomed from a diverse range of personal, professional and academic backgrounds, and represent the four corners of the world. Countries represented in the current programme are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Colombia, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Morocco, Panama, Sweden, and USA.

ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A STRATEGIC SUSTAINABILITY LEADER?
