Happy Solstice everyone!
I hope you enjoy this snippet of video as much as I do. My favorite part is at 1:10 when Bill is stoking the fire and causing sparks to fly up into the night sky!

My Collaborative Consumption Wish List
As a techie geek I get asked for help from my friends all the time with setting up computers, recovering lost files and just about anything else you can think up.
I run a consulting business and charge a decent rate for my time but I always feel awkward charging friends. I wrote a blog post about this back in October that's worth a read:
Since that time I have don't several collaborative deals and people have been asking me what they can trade so I made a quick list:
If you want to barter for service there are a few things I can think of off the top of my head that we could pick from:
- Watch people's kids at the Lakeview Lodge Concerts (www.lakeviewlodgemusic.org)
- Watch my kids so Ali and I can have a date night
- Clean my gutters
- Install a new mailbox
- Prepare dinner for the family
- Clean garage
- Mount and frame 3 8x10 photos
- Fix the ceiling in my kitchen
- Put more insulation in my attic
- Purchase and install 4 guitar wall mounts
- Clean our windows
- Cut the dead branches out of the oak tree in my back yard
Some of these jobs are small and some are not but all things I would most likely need to pay someone to do for me.
With collaborative consumption everyone wins!

Our First Letterbox - Naugatuck Forest Stonewall Letterbox
We stumbled across a letter box completely by accident last Sunday. The boys were so excited that they wanted to place their own in the woods. Our goal starting out this morning was to make it to Beacon Cap but I think we took a wrong turn somewhere along the way so we decided to leave our box in an old stone wall.
