Happy St. Patrick's Day Weekend


Last night George was a guest with his former band, Ring of Kerry, at a big (sold out again! 700 seats at $16 each!) show at the Paramount Theatre here in St. Cloud. He really enjoyed playing with them for the night and was, rather, "glowing" about it this morning. I thought I'd post a video of them, taken three years ago at a Christmas show in Cambridge, Minnesota.


Except for the new band member Karie, who I've heard is a fabulous singer, the show last night was probably very similar to the one three years ago. (One of George's beefs and reasons for leaving was that the guys aren't willing to learn new songs fast enough...)
If you want to read an article from this week's St. Cloud Times about the show and band, click here. George was at the rehearsal pictured; you can see him playing his flute in front of the fireplace.


Here's the website for the band, if you want to see what they're up to these days. (Warning: bad writing!)

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north.
