I am reading a fabulous book called Citizenville by Gavin Newsom.  The subtitle is How to take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government.

After the recent abysmally low turnout primaries in New York City, it seems especially relevant to promote this book.

This is going to be a tricky one.  To be honest, I don't know if I am writing this post for women or for men, but I hope both will get something out of it.

Labor Day

I'm stepping a bit out of my economy box, but this post is written by one of my favorite priests, who is also the official priest of the Colbert Report!  I hope my economy tips are not in conflict w/ Father Jim's advice.  I'm sharing this post in the spirit of the 2 G's - generosity and  gratitude.  Welcome your comments...and I hope you had a peaceful and reflective Labor Day.
