Rock the Vote
I can't wait to cast my vote and end the ugliness.
Make sure you take your voice to the ballet box.

Edmonds Classic Car Show
We love our small town!
Last weekend we roamed the streets looking at old classic cars while I gave my NEW camera a workout. Boy I tell you, 4 to 14 mps is a mighty noticeable jump!

Gas Prices - Hard to Believe
I read an article yesterday that said gas could climb as high as $12/gallon this summer - as I look at the history, I see it's not such a crazy thought. It's a crime.

14th Annual Non Profit Conference
What a day I had today!
Started early and attended the 14t Annual Non Profit Conference today - good stuff!
Lisa and I attended together and had the great good fortune to have lunch with a 70+ year old woman who has a life time of experience and is interested in mentoring us as we start our NP.
She is still active at the organization she and her husband founded: R.O.A.R. She shared many inspiring and cautionary tails.
I was especially inspired and impressed by the keynote speakers - what accomplished women!
One, works for Ashoka Fellows, an organization I had not heard of before today - but what amazing work they do - Check them out here at youtube.
The day ended with attending Lisa's first public hearing meeting as Commissioner Chair for Edmonds' Compensation Commission. The meeting held interesting conversation about the potential salary adjustments for Edmonds' elected officials - nitty gritty - more good stuff!
As I wrap up the day Mark and I are feverishly tap tap tapping on the key board, both saying that we need to STOP and go to bed.....so, I'll post more later.

Life is good
We're on vacation this week - enjoying our annual spring break trek to Arizona. The sun is shining, the sky is clear, it is glorious.
We've done more touristy types of things this trip, including:
And, of course we swam, and swam, and swam, and finally swam some more.
Tomorrow we return to the damp grey Northwest. And, while I'm not excited about loosing this great weather, I am inspired to get fit. Lisa and I have found a great class at the gym and I'm feeling very energized!
