"The willful ignorance of our own food's provenance is curious, given our Discovery Channel-like fascination with the way in which everything else in our moden world is made. Some consumers will spend hours online reading up on cars, cosmetics, or clothes, searching out the most meticulously crafted or environmentally healthy products they can find, then run down to the supermarket and load their carts with bacon, butter, chicken, and eggs without thinking for a second where--or how--any of those goods were produced."

A while back I had the good fortune to design a patch for the Girl Scouts of Maine with the WAGE Project. Brownies get the patch through activities that focus on valuing self, beginning to learn negotiation skills, learning about the value of money and savings, and goal setting.

I saw the final product today for the first time when these 2-inch beauties arrived in the mail. If I had known they were this cool, I would not have been so patient.

This is the first comic book I've bought in at least 25 years.

I didn't pay much attention when the guy at Casablanca Comics brought it over unsolicited to show my mom and I. My mom flipped through it (once a big Superman fan) then I put it back on the shelf. However, Superman is very powerful and eventually pulled me back with his super-powers.

In this new series by J. Michael Straczynski and artist Eddy Barrows, Superman walks across the country to connect with us mere mortals. Move over, Buddha.

I am totally hooked.

Hope the book is as good as the trailer.

Does it bother anyone else that the apostrophe is missing in the trailer title?

Here's an example of what you might find at our tent this August at South Portland's Art in the Park or at the WCSH6 Sidewalk Art Festival on Congress Street.
