It's been a while since we've talked about the position I have in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Somerset Hills. I had a lesson this weekend though in what it means to live the change that we want to see. Unfortunately, this week's example? It's an example of being orderly, organised, rule-oriented in order to achieve that change... I am getting old.

More on National PodCast Post Month tonight. This year, I've chosen to share a poem a day. I discuss that form I've enjoyed writing, the haikus that Chris Cavs is worrying demonstrate that I'm cracking up. I get into some of the history of haikus, some of it I think I may even have made up. Well, subscribe to the feed and find out what a month's worth of poetry sounds like.

National PodCast Post Month has begun. This year, I've chosen to share a poem a day. Okay, what does poetry have to do with living the change? Yeah, Chris Cavs is already hassling me about haikus with butterflies, but poetry is something I live as an example of *why* I live the change. Life is more than protests and getting up in somebody's face. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but art has its place, too. Well, subscribe to the feed and find out what a month's worth of poetry sounds like.

A week of "vacation"? How is it that I can be so exhausted after that? Am I doing it rong akshully? Yeah, in part. I need to reconoiter what change means on a daily basis. And yes, there's some boat metaphors in here.

I throw out some props to Len from Jawbone, Scott Sigler, and the Big Guy of the week, JC Hutchins :)

It's been a long day being involved in the Digital Pharma Marketing conference. A fair reminder, I work for a pharmaceutical company. What's this got to with "living the change that we want to see"? I feel as though I'm trying to help people understand Social Media. So many marketers just want to jump in and do some shouting. I'm hoping I can help them grok the space first.

Discussion around the feedback from Alexandre Enkerli. This is the second of two parts answering the two-fold question, "What about socialisation?" as well as "What if everybody homeschooled, what would socialisation look like?" It's always hard when the discussion turns to self-realisation, doesn't it? This week runs a bit longer, but I think it's still worth it :)

Feedback from JR Murdock. This renowned Podiobook author has some thought provoking discussion about the nature of parental involvement. That's my theme I'm going to stick with... there's more than just that, but it's what I'm running with. Thanks JR, for such well-constructed thoughts.

Show 104 will give an opportunity to revisit some theme from Alex Enkerli.

Feedback from Alexandre Enkerli. He's teaching an education course, and he has an interesting perspective about some of the concepts of education in general. This show is all about the conversation, right? Well, Alex certainly gives us some topics for conversation. I've got a short piece to go with *this* feedback, and need to save some other points for a future show.

Show 103 will have some feedback from JR Murdock... I'm ecstatic to have so much content.

Show 101 - No. I missed a week, not you...

A bit more about homeschooling. I have just a bit more of a story I don't think I've gotten out. I also give you some names to work with, John Holt, and Ivan Ilich. Yep, I've done some hardcore educational reading... I don't *just* make it up as I go along... not all the time anyway.

Show 100... finally...

Homeschooling. It's not just freakazoids. Ok, maybe it is, because I'm one of 'em...

I have some non-freakazoids who give us all some feedback about what drives some parental decisions about homeschooling, some of which is in two part harmony. Thanks to Mike and Jack for kicking in such amazing feedback.

We'll revisit a favourite theme of mine. If we don't start doing something, we'll never do anything. Feedback from JR Murdock and Kreg Steppe starts us off. A little inspiration mixed in from CC Chapman. Most importantly, we talk about what we can do... and why we need to start NOW.

Health care... yeah, I was gonna do something divisive, and decided to go with this. I've got some key points I will hold to as current thoughts... those *will* take some dislodging. I have a thought I need feedback on... and that's in here. If you have feedback on my question, please send me an email to wholelotofnonsense@gmail.com, or call me at 732.98.BRADP and leave a message.

One quick update thanks to @greatscott about the number of paid staff at UUCSH. I was off by one... I should be more sure of that. Then onto the guts of the show... a poem... yeah, back off. It's from Erik Hawkinson. He takes great photos and writes great poetry, IMHO.

A truly quick show...

Tonight, I offer up some thoughts about adopting... a new pet dog... not a child. I'm not quite prepped for that yet, my house is still full. I'll talk about my experience with Petfinder.com. Do you have a pet adoption story to share? Send it over to wholelotofnonsense@gmail.com.

Still with the congregational conversations? Yep. I'm going to have some conversations about things that are giving me pause as I take on a new role as a volunteer leader in my local UU congregation.

So, I'm listening to myself put these thoughts together... should you be on the lookout for some secret insights into the working of the congregation? Not so fast, Mr. Lookie-loo...

You may know him as a wild and crazy speaker to Realtor's Associations... okay, maybe not that one. This is the second half of my interview with Evo at Balticon 43 as we discuss the concept of "living the change we want to see" and how we can get there.

Camping. The great outdoors. I love it. My kids will hopefully learn to love it, too. My family and I will have recently complated a trip to the Shenandoah Valley National Park... and I may even have a few pictures. Let me explain why I like getting out and about, and how this works in the entire, "live the change you want to see".

PSE&G Green Festival happened over the weekend from 3 April 2009 to 5 April 2009. I took the chance to record the discussion between Ed Begley Jr. and Bill Nye, the Science Guy. While this had been billed as a debate, it quickly became evident that this was two friends ribbing the heck out of each other. This last section is audience Q&A. Some very good questions came out of the audience... actual questions, not pontifications masquerading as questions. Good stuff.

This is National Donate Life Month (NDLM). From the NDLM site, "National Donate Life Month (NDLM) was instituted by Donate Life America and its members in 2003, and grew out of the federally proclaimed National Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (NOTDAW). NDLM features an entire month of local, regional and national activities to help encourage Americans to become a donor." I'll share my input on this whole month... 'cause that's what we do here...

PSE&G Green Festival happened over the weekend from 3 April 2009 to 5 April 2009. I took the chance to get a couple of interviews with some people in the booths there. This discussion was with Capt. Hugh Carola of the Hackensack River Keeper (HRK) organisation. Capt. Carola gave us some great insight into what the HRK does, and some insight into what his opinion of the relationship between environmentalism and corporations are.

Alrighty, I'll admit that I like to drive my Honda Insight. It's green. It's odd. It makes me happy. It's also a bit of an elitist thing... I'm sure... Wouldn't it be great if I could walk the block and a half (or so) to the train station near my house, and get somewhere I *really* wanted to be, like my job?

All right, I can cook... big deal. Other people cook, so what's the big deal? Well, I'm lazy when it comes to cooking. My wife has spoiled me for the last... ummmm... 18 years with her amazing cooking. So, if she's not gonna cook, it's pizza time right? Well... maybe not...
