Labelmaker make me a match

The surefire way to turn your discards, and someone else's sheepish curiosity, into treasures and pleasures is to put a sign on it--such a noble gesture.

The 4Fives!

Last Monday I had the best Monday in many Mondays.  I was asked by my new friend Jackson (of the wonderblog Superforest) to come speak with his friend Bee's 4th and 5th grade class (the 4Fives), who themselves run a formidably awesome eco blog.  We spent the morning talking about trash and value and abundance, which carried us over to some freegan gifts I had bestowed upon my friend in Uganda, which segued into the documentary that I shot there, which brought us to gay rights...all of which yielded some very insightful conversation.  I was just tickled pink to make their acquaintance.

Two peas in a pod

The other day in a cold, lonely little trash corner, I spotted these guys keeping each other cozy.  What a pair!  Rick Warren is a welcome addition to my book collection on account of the Uganda documentary I'm working on, and my door is always open for Stephen Colbert--so contentment oozes from the rubbish bins once again.
