"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's a great idea. There's no glass recycling here either. We take ours to Sedona. I dunno what they do with it. I should check, because I know where all the other stuff goes.

I can't believe no one's tried it yet, it makes so much sense. I should check and see if someone has.

I love the idea of using a sheltered workshop for the assembly.

Back in my non-profit days, I used workshops for all our envelope stuffing and folding needs. Virtuous and expeditious.

And...what a genius way to introduce local recycling. Seriously, find something the locals are interested in and give them a reason to invest in something worthwhile.

Truly a stroke of brilliance, smonster.

The status is NOT quo.

Great idea, smonster! I actually have some old, authentic glass Mardi Gras beads, and I love them.

I haven't written a press release in ages and, given that I want to distribute this document to press, blogs, social media and radio what I have is not a traditional release.

I would be grateful for as many eyes as I can get on it before rolling out my new website, services and partnership next week.

If you have a minute, please find the doc here and comment to my profile addy or in-thread.

Many, many thanks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a question about tracking time on a project. I charge by the hour, and often work in tiny spurts, and it's occured to me that maybe keeping a post-it note with "30 min/1 hour/etc" scribbled on it, which I then throw away when I invoice, isn't the best way.

Should I be keeping (and keeping) a spreadsheet or something?
