Journal Question #16

While we were away on vacation, the world observed "Earth Day."  This is an occasion to remember where we live, and the importance of taking care of our home.    We're not doing a great job at the moment: climate change is creating catastrophic change, melting polar ice, forming massive super storms, and flooding coastlines, all of which could cause species extinction, including our own!  In the spirit of Earth Day, what can we, as individuals, do to save our planet and ourselves?

Journal Question #15

Let's talk about music.  As I write this, I'm listening to Wilco's "Impossible Germany."  What are you listening to?  (Be specific - don't just say, "pop music," say "Lady Gaga's newest CD" or whatever.)  Tell me why you like your music.  When do you listen to music?  Do you listen to different musicians and singers at different times of day or in different situations?  Has your musical taste changed over time?  Do you prefer to listen to music alone or with other people?  Share your music!
