Knowing that it is unlikely that I will ever get to spend real time with Paul, I think I've found the second or maybe third next best thing.  YouTube!

This morning I watched/played "Paul Wheaton - Building a Better World One Permaculture Brick at a Time".  We sat for a while drinking coffee, then because I have to get up move around often, we cleaned up in the kitchen, put last nights dishes away, brought the laundry up from the basement (was a little cloudy when I washed) drying lines.  Folded and put everything away.  We even went to the bathroom together, but not in a weird way!, all thanks to the wonders of a laptop.

It was almost like an audio version of his book "Building A Better World In Your Backyard".  It is a kinda long video, but if you have not seen it, please do, well worth the time to do so.

I found something about YouTube that I'm not sure if I like or not.  It's a little icky, but the "thing" tracks what you watch and will start the video up at the point you stopped watching!!!   Icky or not I really have enjoyed watching his videos thus far, he makes me laugh and I do like his voice and attitude.

Oh bother, could it be that I see a little of myself in Paul?  It may be a good thing that we are separated by many miles!

Peace

Ah, please remember that baby Roy needs new shoes.  I'm sure you can skip that six dollar coffee at least one morning per week.  Dig a little deeper, donate!

Yeah, that is the one!  I kinda forgot that I had started watching the video some time ago.  It was when I opened it again that I realized it picked up and started at the same point I had stopped watching earlier.  I think maybe its a little too creepy for this non-tech guy!!

Thanks again for your help Jeremy.


Peace
