William's blog - starting at 14, rather than accept his fate, William started borrowing books from a small community lending library located at his former primary school. He borrowed an 8th grade American textbook called Using Energy, which depicted wind turbines on its cover. He decided to build a windmill to power his family's home and obviate the need for kerosene, which provided only smoky, flickering, distant and expensive light after dark.

What a great way to read a book..... As our English 10 class picked up their Kite Runner books for the first time this semester, I mentioned that we had a "friend in Afghanistan" who was eagerly awaiting their questions and comments. About five hands went up immediately. "Who is it?" "How do you know him?" And of course, "Why does he care about our class?"

An interesting take on weeding.... I've discovered that, whether our expertise is paleontology or board books, most of what holds us back from weeding is psychological. I'm reminded of that first step in most recovery programs: "We admitted we were powerless over [blank]-that our lives had become unmanageable." So, here's a program for people whose collections have become unmanageable-and it's only eight steps.
