Was hanging out in Copley yesterday when my eyes laid hold of this. Anyone wanna camp out for the grand opening?? I’m serious.
environmental stewardship

Anyway, today is Earth Day. I didn’t know this until I opened my Gmail today and saw the Google icon covered with a tree, grass and nature.

the joys of fatherhood…
Every now and then, I have to remind myself that I’m an adult and that I am responsible for 2 boys in the world that are my sons.

Today, our family is becoming more and more committed to recycling, and I’m shocked at how much paper, plastic, aluminum and glass we use as a family of 4. We’ve even taken some small steps at church to do our duty and recycle.
