In mid-May i got the following invitation via my meeting via Multifaith Voices for Peace & Justice:

The book is already written and the illustrations are already being
painted. A national distributor is ready to put the book into
bookstores and web sites across the country. All our friends need is
another $4,000 (they've already raised $8,000) to get the full-color
hard-cover books printed in North America (instead of China).

The site provides a paypal option (as well as other options)

$10 (or more) You will receive a copy of the book, which you can keep - OR for each $10 you donate, you can designate a non-profit organization or school that will receive a copy of the book.

Yesterday afternoon i hit a bit of gloom and responded by watching a good bit of Doctor Who. I'm plowing through season five, and was rather hit by my expectations for this story arc.

I have dirt under my fingernails from some repotting of plants and have a bit more gardening i want to do today. I ponder a pattern of being "wiped out" and wonder if there's something to be dazzled by the sun on the deck.

This morning i satisfactorily did family duty and called my grandfather to wish him a happy birthday. I've spent far too much time shopping at REI. We spent a g'zillion dollars a couple weeks ago when we became members, none of which the %20 and %15 coupons applied to. The 20% expires today, the 15% in a few weeks. I know spending money just to get a discount is a false economy, but with some reflection i was able to find a few things that we had mentioned wishing we had that i feel we can use over time even if we don't camp.

We're going through bits and bobs this midday. My what a collection of cables we have! And then there are the bundles of paper....

We'll see some Robert Redford movie late this afternoon.

Oh my, food. That's *much* better. I really need to manage my meals a little better. I had a burst of energy with some fresh cherries and cottage cheese, enough that i was able to make a melange of onion, apple, bits of radish, and beet leaves tossed with rehydrated sprouted lentils and beans. That too is good.
