Groundhog day 2014 has arrived. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow or won’t he? He did not and thus, according to the legend, totally non-meteorological, we will have six more weeks of winter. As if on cue, today, as I type this note, a Monday, the 3rd day of February, it is snowing and we are projected to get five inches of slushy snow with it getting down to 20 tonight and icing up the roads tomorrow. The YMCA closed early today and they cancelled group exercise classes as I'd planned to do my 2nd Les Mills Bosy Pump Workout. Instead, I spent 20 minutes on the treadmill going about 4.0 mph and did a little over a mile.
Iconic musician and activist Pete Seeger has died at the age of 94. Living on Earth spent an afternoon with the folk music legend in 1998. Seeger told host Steve Curwood that Rachel Carson's book “Silent Spring” inspired him to environmental activism. One of Seeger’s goals was to clean up New York’s Hudson River and he helped get the sloop “Clearwater” built to spread the message about pollution. Steve Curwood met Pete Seeger at the Sloop Club on the banks of the Hudson in Beacon, New York and has this profile.http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.html?programID=14-P13-00005&segmentID=3
Welcome Gregory S. Pelley at UUSMC! Great introductory service from Greg, not a Reverend, yet ... "Call me Greg", he intoned during the morning. It was well-attended and afterward, we had a full potluck well organized and stocked with lots of good food, including Randy's signature soup.
