An asymptote is a curve that approaches a line but never gets there. In the same way, life is a journey in which continual
progress is possible, but never perfection: in spirituality, environmentalism, and the quest for peace. These are reflections on the journey, as well as comments and photos from my home in rural
Southern Utah.

NEW! If you've got questions about CO2 reduction, methods, or impacts, send me an email. I'll post questions and answers on my blog.
If I don't know the answer, I'll do my best to find someone who does.
AND MORE: Time permitting, I'll help anyone who asks calculate their CO2 emissions. Email me.

As Dave Barry said, "menopause is from the Greek; "meno" meaning "skin so hot", and "pause" meaning "that it would melt plastic."
Or maybe its all just a "personal summer moment." (Sigh.) Reply to this
