Something to do this weekend...

Sorry to be so vacant/absent/generally not here lately. The baby's blog gets way more attention than this one. Which makes sense, because his is mostly pictures. Believe me, you don't need to see pictures of what I do all day (nor do I need any reminders about how the baby weight is not "melting off" with breastfeeding as all those liars attest.) It seems as soon as I am done with the laundry/watering/dishes/mail, etc. that I save up for naptime and have a chance to consider a topic or reflection that I decide might be worth writing about, he wakes up.

SO (I swear I here the sheets rustling) here's something easy and...helpful (I was going to say fun, but it depends on whether you enjoy picking up trash on a beach or not, but most people who've pitched in in the past find it fun) to do this weekend. Come participate in the annual Coastal Cleanup! Whatever coast you're on, or even if you're not, you can help protect wildlife and collect some hard data about all the junk we keep dumping into our waterways. Nat and Silas and I will be helping out here in Berkeley, but there are plenty of other locations. Just a couple hours of your time for a great cause...and a chance to win prizes...ooops, and there goes the baby.
