New Urban Farming Documentary

Watch for a new documentary that is currently being screened at film festivals around the country. Called Homegrown, it tells the story of the Dervaes family (dad and three adult children) who turned their Pasadena, CA, one-fifth-acre lot into a fabulous urban farm. Here is the family's website (where you'll find numerous videos about this venture), and here is the trailer for the movie:

Trip to Dallas

Made a sad trip to Dallas this week to attend the funeral of a good friend from high school. While there, stayed with Joey and Cynthia -- Joey was a college fraternity brother and close friend, and I knew Cynthia vis-a-vis Campus Crusade for Christ while in grad school at the University of Alabama. Pictured below are Joey, Cynthia, and a sort of abstract shot of a gigantic jet engine against the blue sky on the return trip.
