November 30, 2005 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg
 Anna's mother's favorite dessert to make, apart from tart Oregon cherry pie, is caramel apples. Anna found the particular mother-approved caramel apple wrap brand a few months ago in our local supermarket, and we've been hording them ever since. On special occasions or when I'm not in the lady's favor, caramel apples are made. And since nothing else worth mentioning has happened in Williamstown, MA, let it be known, that we had apples last night, and I am again in the lady's good favor.

November 28, 2005 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg
 This morning while rummaging through the radio station's huge vinyl selection, I came across The Point soundtrack. The Point was a short animated film that Adam, one of his college girlfriends, and I watched in mom's basement when I was in grade school. Released in 1971, The Point is an animated feature about a boy with a round head who is banished from the land of Point, subsequently to go on a journey and sing a series of catchy and sad tunes about tolerance. As you can imagine, I was delighted and highlighted the record's narration and song on my show this morning. I am now whistling "Think about your troubles," which is so lovely that I've posted the lyrics below.
Sit beside the breakfast table/ Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea/ Then think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops/ And drop 'em in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them over the side/ To be swept up by a current
Then taken to the ocean/ To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishes/ And swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old/ He decomposed, doo, doo, doo
He died and left his body/ To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows/ That when a body decomposes
The basic elements/ Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water/ Not too good for drinking
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop/ So they run it through a filter
And it comes out from a faucet/ And it pours into a teapot
Which is just about to bubble/ Now think about your troubles, now

Robert Greenwald, the maker of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices spoke in Eugene to a crowd of over 700 at Lane community college! I showed the movie with the Williams Greens at Images Cinema, and it had a great reception. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a great film!

 Happy Happy belated birthday, Seraph!
I had a great time at Highlander this weekend, although the Smoky Mountains look quite a bit like the Berkshires. It made me feel very very lucky.

Please, dear family, stop me from advancing my career in telemarketing.
The Office of Community Service is running a winterization project of local homes, which involves me cold calling fifty families a day to try to convince them that I'm giving them something, not selling them something. Sigh.
Nevertheless, it's going well enough so that talking about it on TV tonight. We've had local paper articles and such, which is nice. When I say "TV", I mean public access. I'm becoming one of THOSE people on public access, droning on about legalizing ganja and giving out guns. CNN 2, here I come!
The funniest thing I've ever seen: Weight Watchers cards from 1972 on www.candyboots.com

November 03, 2005 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg
Meadville is a much more complex and rich city than I remember it as a ten year-old. I'm sitting in an old bank now wireless cafe and gallery after siting in on a city planning meeting, community leader meeting, and interesting talk by Jody Ktezman, whose simple message can be summed up by "find what makes your community's glass half full instead of half empty." A profound shift for many communitites, Meadville included.
Seeing Danica, Dorothy, and Amara has been such a blessing. I feel so lucky to be able to put this family roots trip on the college's bill.
