Earth-Hour Results

Lighted CandleIn Chicago, lights on more than 200 downtown buildings were dimmed Saturday night, including the stripe of white light around the top of the John Hancock Center. It was reported that red-and-white marquee outside Wrigley Field also went dark. I am unsure of the total impact resulted from yesterday's event. I do believe it was a good cause and am hopeful to have made a contribution in the quest to make a difference. AP reports: 'Earth Hour' in Ireland is being heralded as a success after analysis released by EirGrid shows a reduction in electricity use of about 1.5% yesterday evening.
I took advantage of the candlelit area of my home and snapped some pictures of the beauty of fire.

Easter Fun With My Family

Easter 2008 With The Family
I had a nice weekend this Easter weekend. Today was filled with family fun. We started the day with attending an early morning mass followed by brunch, egg coloring and easter basket madness! I love experiencing things over again through my nephew's. They truly bring the joy into all the holidays.

Earth Hour - Turn off the lights

A Global Event on Climate Change
Earth Hour
MARCH 29, 2008
8:00-9:00 pm


Earth Hour is a WWF initiative to "turn off the lights" in 14 cities across 6 continents for one hour, starting at 8pm local time on March 29, 2008. In the U.S. it will be held in Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and San Francisco.

Will pay full price now.

I drove to the bad side of the city for a possibility of purchasing a
keyboard at a great price. Craigslist usually doesn't diassapoint.
The church where I was supposed to meet this seller was closed. I
didn't wait much longer, knowing that there was not going to be a
place to test it out now. I think I am done trying to find a bargain
for this keyboard via craigslist.

Thoughts from a recent flight

I am on a plane on the way to va and as my usual luck will have it I
am sitting next to a squirmy-wormy person. This is supposed to be a
very short flight of only an hour and a half but after only thirty
minutes, I feel like i've been on this plane for three hours.

Back In The Day

Who would have imagined from this picture that the people then would be such politically influencial figures of American history - the former president of the U.S. and the first lady now a presidential candidate herself.
