Home again

I’m back in Monterey again and within three days I’m up to my ears in work projects–steeped in sea otter politics. I’ve picked up projects that I left hanging in June, and it kind of feels like I never left–like I’ve woken up from a two month dream.

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with work, which is busy, my house, which is full and all the coming back home errands I have to run–and I haven’t even started thinking about school starting again! Plus I’m going to San Diego next weekend…which may or may not be a good idea. I took the time to go to yoga today though, so hopefully will keep it all under control.

I don’t really have the energy to write a lot right now, so instead I am going to post a link to a great NY Times article I found about an environmental clinic in NY. The woman who runs it is an artist and an engineer; she prescribes solutions to environmental concerns and worries; it’s part public art, part activism, part engineering solutions! The full article can be read at:

Prescriptions for Health, the Environmental Kind

I read this article after reading this article:

Changes in Environmental Review Are Sought

which left me in need of a dose of optimism. There seems to be an aura of hope in the environmental realm that change is just around the corner, but every now and then we get a practical reminder that a lot can happen before January.
