I met Emily at a gathering in the West End in August. Two days later I found out that she was in the contest for the Greenest Person in the World. So, I voted for her on-line at 3rdwhale.
The winner will be announced next week at SFU. Her last remaining competitor is Matthias from Germany who lives in Malaysia.
An excellent and interesting presentation and discussion about women in politics in the US in early 2008.

I subscribe to an e-newsletter from the local resource, No Bully for Me. Having survived bullying in the workplace, I appreciate the work that Karen and Stephen are doing.
They provided a link to a really great column written in 2000 by George Monbiot. While it’s advice for people interested in journalism, it applies to work in all professions.
Yesterday, I went to have lunch with my old office mate, Karen, from the Community Outreach Service. While I was there I learned that another former colleague died in the summer from ALS. I stayed for the beautiful memorial service for Jenny Robertson in the courtyard.
While speaking with her husband after the service, I noticed that he was holding copies of the HSA report. As I’m no longer a member of HSA, I hadn’t seen it.

She loved her work. She lived a good life.
