"Only by throwing oneself over and over again into the tumult of this world, with the intention of making one’s voice count –

only thus does one really become a person, a being capable of a miracle: the recreation of the world."    

- Vaclav Havel

Just had a fantastic day yesterday at the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network Conference. Had the pleasure of delivering the keynote address in the wake of a fiery speech by Senator Bernie Sanders (does he ever deliver anything else?). 

 

I also had great talks with folks like ANR Secretary Deb Markowitz, DPS Secretary Liz Miller (who could be the smartest woman I've ever met), Liz's Smarts Rival Senator Ginny Lyons, and former VNRC ED Elizabeth Courtney, who's now heading up the Legacy Project.

 

I also co-presented a workshop on Adaptation and Mitigation with fiery Keri Dolan from ANR and the elegantly poetic science author Amy Seidl.

 

Naturally, there were some more remarkable men there as well, but on this sunny Sunday, I'm feeling of a mood to champion the gals.

 

Thanks ladies.  You give me hope.

I've just booked a performance of The Boycott for Saturday, January 14 in Saxtons River, VT.  It'll be a benefit for the Green Island Project.

Once again, the season of gratitude is upon us, and I was blessed today for having the honor to chat with my friend Jason's grandfather Sam, a 90 year-old Holocaust survivor who is still sharp, witty, energetic, and even a little flirty.

 

I asked him what it was, the essential component of his character which allowed him to survive over 4 years in 5 different concentration camps - including the hellish institution dramatized in Schindler's List

 

He said he's always had a very positive attitude about life, and that he was proactive in looking out for his own well-being.
