"The Royal Wedding is chick crack, ...."

So how many of you watched the royal wedding? (My guess is very few of you). Me, I'm still dealing with fallout from the storms that hit East Tennessee on Wednesday. My internet barely works and the cable has been out for days. I don't want to live in a world without technology, it's boring! Not boring enough for me to try to find a TV to watch the royal wedding however.

Hobbies and self-sufficiency

In order to get away from the computer for awhile, I spent the morning putting my EarthBox Garden Kit together to grow tomatoes.

Do you have a hobby that gives you a sense of self-sufficiency?

PJTV: Is Political Correctness a form of Pathological Altruism?

I have a PJTV show up:

Could it be that some people do good just to hide their own evil? Dr. Helen sits with the Advice Goddess Amy Alkon and Barbara Oakley to talk about pathological altruism. Oakley is the author of Cold-Blooded Kindness and Alkon is the author of I See Rude People. Hear what happened to the Advice Goddess after she criticized Jesse Jackson.

You can watch the show here.
