Act Globally, Act Locally

I recently had an epiphany. Well, it wasn't that momentous, but anyway, I realized that I spend more time reading, analyzing, and oftentimes bitching about policies, politics, and the miscreants who practice both than I do actually putting energy into productive change.
So rather than just start another blog and become a permanent member of the chattering class, I decided to get involved. I started a group through a local community association whose goal is to provide basic home repair and landscaping services to needy people within our neighborhood. Six volunteers have responded to my call over the listserv and we have already identified one project. My goal is to do at least one project per quarter.

It's small, its local, and its impact will be the same. Here, Here!
