dedicate myself to a worthy cause
My cause is... 20 months ago

Lifting the working and poor classes to a point where they have a voice, and then making that voice heard.



save $4000
$2,000 down... $14,000 to go. 20 months ago

I want to save $2,000 up every month until I leave New York in September. I’ve succeeded in the first month, although I’m subsisting on ham and cheese sandwiches, Friday nights are for reading, and I have to make really good use of my nights and weekends minutes on my downgraded cell phone plan.

The most I stipulated I could save was $16,000, so I’m working towards that goal with smaller, monthly incremental goals.

It was especially difficult this month with my Banana Republic subscription e-mailing me with 40% off post-Winter sales. But I have not succumbed.



learn more about the american revolution
Just picked up a book 21 months ago

Reading “The Creation of the American Republic 1776-1787.” It’s a hefty read, but coming off a 500 page biography of Caius Julius Caesar, I’m ready to continue studying important people and events in political history.

It looks so far like an interesting study on the ideology of the American people and the Tories who so despised them in the founding days of our Republic.
