I recently toyed with the idea of nuking my Facebook account and then changed my mind when I thought about the potential to reach people with eye opening info about our food supply, fuel supply and incomprehensible legislation that needs to be fixed.

Take a look here for a list of top notch and riveting documentaries, links to legislation that needs your support and ideas on finding healthy food for you and your family.

The Beat of New York

It was serendipitous that I should stumble across this video today after the kids were just asking last night about going to NYC this fall.



Enjoy.

Be nice.

Peace.

Mountain trip update

Well, this year's trip was a blast.

We based ourselves in VT and hit the Adirondack, Green and White Mountains over two weeks. Went to Montreal to visit friends and take in the International Fireworks festival at the Old Port and have sushi at the local farmers market. Visited man-made water parks in NY, natural water features in NH (the Basin in Franconia Notch), went BMX and Mountain Biking at the Trapp Family Lodge, slept in a tent, a basement and a cabin, took 3 ferry trips, biked in Burlington and even hit the local skate park while listening to MGMT w/Violens warming up for the Champlain Music Festival!

It was a fantastic time and couldn't have been much better.

Here are a few clips.

AuSable Chasm


And finally for this update, a pretty little fountain we came across in a public park in the Adirondacks after grabbing a light meal at an "Irish" pub with no Irish food items on the menu!


More pics to come soon.

Glacial potholes

Look around folks. Amazing nature is everywhere. Just a short drive from us is a fantastic place for a day hike with the family to see glacial potholes formed by retreating glaciers millions of years ago.

Donut tree

Money may not grow on trees, but apparently donuts do!
Witness the donut tree at a friend's birthday party.

While I feel strongly that we need to get our soldiers home to their families as soon as possible, this poster speaks volumes about the brave men and women who are at war right now and putting their lives on the line to help the Afghan and Iraqi people regardless of whether they feel we should have gone there in the first place.

New Series of Doctor Who is coming!

Seems most of the TV we watch in our home these days originates in the UK. Doctor Who, Top Gear, The F Word, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Hoping that Torchwood and Primeval return, but in the meantime, am stoked that Doctor Who comes back on April 17, 2010.
