Don't Forget to Appreciate Awesome

How awesome is it that a group of people, some of whom don't know each other, can come together to work on a fabuous project like this one? The conglomeration of creativity from all these individuals is a pretty amazing thing. When I received the notebook, my thoughts ran to how we so often miss the awesomeness in everyday life in the midst of our busy schedules. These musings inspired my contribution to the notebook as I sat on a lawn near my workplace on a beautiful, unusually warm early spring day.

To those conspirators who are still waiting to participate, have fun, use your imagination, and revel in the awesomeness.

Back in Action

Email I just sent to all the conspirators who have yet to do their part with the notebook:

You may have noticed that the Red Notebook Conspiracy ground to a halt for about a month, but that's all over now, because the notebook is now in the wily hands of the best derby wife in all of derbydom.

Let's not dwell on the notebook's lengthy pause and just focus on the fact that now you have three objectives:
1. Have fun
2. Decrease world suck in some way
3. Get the notebook to Ben by May 5 -- it has to go to Arizona and to two places in New York, but if everyone between Rehab and Ben takes less than 5 days (including mail time to the next person), then we should be able to do this

Go forth and make magic, lovelies. (Just be kinda quick about it, if you can.)
