Technology Deficient

Funny thing being "without" technology. We become so dependent on technology for so many things. While we have been without a TV we have been listening to NPR and our solar powered radio for news and entertainment. This weekend we had time to watch a movie on my mac. We watched MIRACLE and hope you'll take the time to watch it too if you haven't already!

I think I'll buy external speakers...that way we will be able to listen and really hear the movie!

Herb Brooks and I must share the same life philosophy: "You know, Willie Wonka said it best: We are the makers of dreams, the dreamers of dreams. We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we're too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams. I'm a dreamer."- Herb Brooks

We also were out enjoying the tropical island walking the path on Beach Road, swimming in our pool and enjoying the Pacific Ocean. Andrew went on a biology field trip to Managaha, an outer island, to plant trees and to restore paths that were being abused by tourists! So he did his part in restoring the island's ecology!

Sounds like you are settling into island life. And Andrew is a budding environmentalist! Warms my liberal bleeding heart to no end! ;-)
