Well, we did it. We have a signed purchase agreement for a home. We had our eyes on this house for some time, and the timing was right for us to buy. I feel as if we have achieved the pinnacle. We are officially living the high life, and I’m thrilled.

A couple of years back I went to a group show here in Milwaukee. Among the featured artists was work by Kate Bingaman-Burt. It looks like she’s getting a lot of press lately, launching her book this month and being featured on Swiss-Miss. I was stoked. I get excited when someone I recognize receives good press. Her work is quite memorable, and in this current climate, that’s saying something. Congrats on the new book, Kate.

For some time I have been thinking about how Milwaukee needs an ecologically-minded site that covers local issues, news, and provides resources for people, as well as a social networking forum. Greener Milwaukee is a social networking site created by Ryan Thompson, which provides a space for green-minded individuals to network while providing updates on the green scene, and lists upcoming eco-events that will interest many greenies here. May your site flourish like guerrilla rain gardens, Ryan.
