About time I updated.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here.  I think I’ll just say that I had blog fatigue, and then I became lazy and out of practice.

I now work in the Michigan Legislature.  Michigan is kind of a mess right now.  Unfortunately, there are no short term, immediate fixes for our woes.  People are losing their homes, jobs, and hope.  It’s definitely an interesting experience working in this place, and I can see the frustration everywhere.

My non-profit is keeping itself busy.  The next few weeks will have a whole bunch of events and speakers.  We have Nicaraguan peace activists that helped draft the peace accords after the civil war coming, the Wheels of Justice campaign making a stop here to talk about the occupations in Iraq and Palestine, Michael Brownlee will be talking about how to create a relocalization movement and sustainable economies, and our upcoming alternative holiday sale is going to be filled with fair trade and local goods for all – and much, much more that just hasn’t been set in stone quite yet.

So, moral of the story, I guess, is that I have plenty to blog about, and I need to get back to it ASAP.
