AIDS Walk Colorado 2008
I participated again today and I had so much fun! This is my third year walking in the fundraiser, having participated in 2004 and 2005. I walk to honor the memory of three family members I lost to this wasteful and ravaging disease. I offer a big THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored me this year – I surpassed my fund raising goal! Until there’s a cure…we stand in solidarity.
DemCon 2008 in Denver
I was very happy to attend the 2008 Democratic Convention speeches on Tuesday August 26th (Hillary Clinton) and Thursday August 28th (Barack Obama’s acceptance speech). The entire event was amazing. I have photos from Tuesday night only; l left my camera at home on Thursday (doh!). A good friend of mine took hundreds of pics, though, so more photos will get added to my Flickr album as soon as I get them.
I don’t usually go into politics in this blog but I couldn’t now, even if I wanted to. I’m still processing it all. Obama’s speech was inspirational and bold. I feel as if I’ve lived a piece of history that the world will be talking about for many years to come.
Dome Living is Hip
I’ve mentioned in this blog before my general interest in dome-styled dwellings. Recently, I’ve come across a post from the Pink Tentacle about the newest dome rage in Japan. I’m not sure how environmentally sound (or safe!) the use of styrofoam is in these structures, but the idea that dome living is catching on in one of the world’s trendiest nations is quite appealing.
