I just posted a brief (ho ho ho!) manifesto of sorts on cloth diapering here, where I post my more mama-centric ramblings. And if you feel like reading about an amazing drug-free birth experience, scroll through the older posts and read Cameron's beautiful story of giving birth to her first child in the comfort of her own home. (She's a professional photographer, so there are also lovely photos of wee Owen, as well.)
In other news, I'm proud of the work I did on this article. The kind of terrifying decline of the honeybee isn't exactly breaking news - that was last year - but I feel like I not only pegged an important issue to a timely event (a lecture at UGA) but also managed to really break it down and make it understandable to all readers. That's what I think, anyway!
I've got so much work to do in the meantime, and not all of it will be seen here - editing projects, press releases, that sort of thing. Take care, y'all.

Busy, busy, busy, busy
At the moment, I'm in the middle of writing articles for the Athens Banner-Herald and Athens Magazine. I'm also writing PR and various other projects for Perfectly Polished, an area etiquette school. And, I'm doing some writing and editing for the Brooklyn-based Stislow Design+Illustration, working on an annual report for an educational foundation.
It's good to be busy. And I'm so grateful that I'm able to do all of this work - each project is so different from the others.
So here's a round-up for you!
" 'I didn't make a big deal out of it,' she says of her time away from making music. 'I didn't make them listen to Pylon. In some ways, I think they were surprised.' " That was Vanessa Hay talking, and I got to interview her and a slew of other folks for a story on a Valentine's Day Hoot. What's a Hoot, you ask? Find out here!
In related news, the Banner-Herald asked me and a few other folks to list our top love songs for a Valentine's feature. This was very exciting to me, and harder to compile than I thought! Read it here.
"Batman becomes flamboyant Catman, complete with a cat phone that plays the Meow Mix theme song; old favorite Mandrake the Magician is now Dubya the Decider. His female counterpart, says Contini, is a cross between 1980s cartoon character She-Ra (a pal of He-Man) and Condoleezza Rice." I am, of course, talking about Augusto Boal and the Theatre of the Oppressed movement. Really! Read all about it here.
Finally, I so enjoyed interviewing Ruth Roberson Hughes and speaking about her new book about St. Luke AME, possibly the oldest African-American church in town. She was a total sweetheart, and the book (available in Athens) is part memoir, part history of the church community, and completely fascinating. Read about it here!
'Til next time...
