Make Therapeutic clowning and clown-doctoring in particular a more integral and appreciated part fo our healthcare system. We can't just fund the treatment of the body we have to treat and care for the spirit and soul as well.

I just joined the board of the charity Jest for Joy. They provide Clown Doctoring for long term adult in-patients. They go in once a week and sing songs and make the staff and residents laugh and brighten their day. This has been proven to help not only the mood but also the effectiveness of some treatments.

Degrowth is coming it is just a matter of when and how ready we are for it. Running for the hills isn't the solution as that takes us backwards, we have to learn how to live in these cities, in this populous environments that we have created, but without the resources that we've grown so sadly accustomed to.

For instance I am changing the way that I look at my clothes. I want stylish and comfy clothes but I am no longer going to bring dyed cotton halfway around the world to save you guys from seeing my beer-gut. I'm going to source and support locally produced, sustainable clothiers and if they don't exist I'm going to start to create a market for one.

I am also going to tele-commute more and cycle when I can. Roll on summer.

Looking at the Madoff scandal and other frauds, the common theme is that something for nothing was what was on offer. If you don't want something 4 nothing you can't get burned by the scam.

No excuse for watering my lawn with tapwater. Not that I do that very much anyway but also for kiddy pools and bird baths in the summer.

I always felt that an undue focus on giving shareholders what they want was the wrong way to go. Give Customers what they want and the shareholders needs are met.http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/294ff1f2-0f27-11de-ba10-0000779fd2ac.html

In the 50's the average ciggy didn't have a filter so the butts decomposed. now they hang around longer than a Cuban dictator. SO far I've only chucked 2 back through the open window of the cars that dropped them but to be fair, I've stopped that for fear of being shot. Now I honk or flash drivers who flick their tabs out of the window, just to make them think twice.
