“The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men…”
—Robert Burns

As many of you have probably appreciated, there have been some problems with my blog server lately. If it’s not slow, it’s often down. I apologize for that and am looking into trying to correct the situation. Combine that with a busier-than-normal work week and it makes for poor blogging.

With the few spare minutes I have today, I’m going to reprise a great video I posted many months ago when there were fewer followers, so many of you won’t have seen it. It’s a great inspirational segment promoting “Dirt! The Movie.” In it, Wangari Maathai explains how we can all help make a difference, no matter how small the effort, with a beautiful analogy involving a hummingbird.

Please enjoy these two precious minutes.
