From a laptop in a modest duplex in the lower left corner of the US (kitty-corner from Portland Maine!), I bring you a little taste of Spring to brighten your morning and provide hope to those of you in somewhat colder climates. Some cheers & jeers will tag long. Mostly cheers because that's how I roll. I'm a glass half full, silver lining kind of gal.

Disclaimer: I’m not Bill & could never BE Bill (though I might want to be him right now since he’s sipping umbrella drinks on the warm sand in Key West with Michael). ‘nuff said.

Now, who has the hammer for the gong? It was supposed to left right here.....shoot..well...maybe if I just whack it with my fist...Cheers & Jeers starts in There’s Moreville..[whoosh]RIGHT NOW![thud! OWOWOWOW!]

*Supplies unlimited. Side effects include warm and fuzzy feelings. Must claim your hug at Netroots Nation 2010 in Las Vegas.

I'm serious. Donate an item and I'll give you a hug in Vegas. How can you resist? OK, so yes this is a blatant beg for auction items. And also for everyone to get off their butts and register for the event. Why? Well read on to see why I think Netroots Nation is a can't miss part of every year.

Hello and welcome to the weekly community diary where you can share a happy story about anything and everything to bring some sunshine and smiles to each other. I am sure you are wondering right now "um..who are YOU?" I know, some people are limited to one diary per day, I limit myself to one every other year! I feel like I should introduce myself with "long time listener, first time caller!" The reality is just that life keeps me away more than I would like, but thanks to the friends I’ve made I do stay connected. One such friend is Eddie C who has been down here to San Diego a couple of times and I was able to share with him my favorite place on the planet which he thought I should share with all of you. As luck would have it, I was on the trails just last month and have some fresh pictures to share as well as the story of my favorite day ever there. Also, there ‘s some action to be taken to help keep the Torrey Pines Reserve open – yes, it’s a potential victim of the financial woes of the State of California, so please click on the link at the end and help keep my little slice of heaven accessible to everyone.

This year I have committed to spending more time volunteering for my favorite causes since donating money is out of the question. My first real foray into volunteerism started out with this past weekend’s California Democratic Party convention that was held here in San Diego. It was actually my first time getting involved in a political event. Oh sure, I attended Yearly Kos in Las Vegas last year, but that felt more like a meet up of blogging buddies which just happened to have a political theme. The CDP event was my first exposure to the real, formal workings of a major political party. So, here are my amateur observations.

This week I attended a wine and cheese mixer sponsored by the Lawyers Club of San Diego's Reproductive Choice committee. The guest speaker was the Planned Parenthood Director of Communications for San Diego and Riverside counties, Vince Hall. Vince helped defeat last year's parental notification measure in California, Proposition 73. At the mixer, he told us about this year's version of parental notification,
Prop 85. Again you ask? Oh yes! Read more below and learn how important this issue in California is to the entire nation Read More

The recent veto of the Stem Cell funding bill reinforces our knowledge that this administration is not about to do anything to improve our overall health in this country. Access to basic healthcare will continue to drop and the funding of scientific research into ways to treat and cure disease will not happen. Fine, the government is currently failing us. So, what do we do? I guess I am going to quote my more libertarian friend who believes that the government should never be relied upon for those things - we need to take care of each other. While I do not support that view completely of course, I do support the idea that we need to take action ourselves until we can turn things around politically. So, when we feel as if we are just banging our heads against a Rovian wall, when we feel helpless and depressed over the state of things, how about picking a non-political cause to support? I promise you it will improve your mental state tremendously. Pick a cause!

How about cancer?
