Crunch week, side trips and priorities
This is crunch week for finishing up the May issue of Deb's Monthly Review, so things are a bit pinched for me in the posting department. You could go work the Crossword Puzzle from MSNBC or try Sodoku from USA TODAY. You might take a few moments to send a few thoughts to your Congressperson or contact news media outlets and let them know how you feel about their coverage of events. (While you're at it, would you give them a message from me? Would you please ask them to stop playing Alec Baldwin's voice mail messages over and over and over? I feel like I'm being forced into some weird psychotic loop in which I'm stalking a whole celebrity family without even trying. It's demeaning to everyone and I'm tired of it. Thank you, whoever you are, for passing that along.)
Cold brew some tea or take a hike. Or start some sprouts. You could even build your own exercise equipment.
Forget saving the environment by using one square of toilet paper. Find out how two 9-year-old kids are working to save the rainforests. Or learn about a kid who's been raising money for clean wells since he was 6 years old.
Every week is a kind of crunch week for all of us. If it was our last week on earth, how would we spend it? What tasks would we focus on? Who would we communicate with? What would we read? Do? Believe? Dream?
