I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge today, Earth Day 2010 - which also happens to be the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Appropriately, it's beautiful here in Annapolis today: sunny, warm and pretty. But if the insane volcano in Iceland has one thing to teach us (other than the fact that international air travel is less reliable than we think), it's that Mother Nature really is boss.
I don't like to use this blog as a platform to preach, but I do want to say quickly that I hope you're all doing your part to keep our planet healthy. Please, please, please, if you don't already recycle, start now - there's absolutely no reason other than laziness or ignorance why anyone shouldn't be recycling at this point. Switch out lightbulbs, unplug appliances, buy locally and organic, stop buying bottled water (I love these, these and these options), plant trees and so on.
B and I are doing our best to do better little by little (we're certainly not perfect but we're trying) and I hope everyone else will join us in doing what we can for our beautiful planet.
And if you have a spare moment, check out The Official Earth Day 2010 Campaign to see what you can do to help.
Okay, stepping off the soap box....now. Thanks for listening (er, reading). Happy Earth Day, all! :)

My crunchy granola ass loves a good Earth Day. I treat it like New Year's. So today, my earth day resolution is to take shorter showers; cuz God knows I'll stand there till the hot water runs out. And if there's one thing that Cali has taught me, it's that you can't always rely on your water supply. Happy freakin earth day! PS - Thanks to the BP assholes whose oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico blew up - today of all days!
