You try

" If you could send me your resume and a few lines describing your background and interests (two-three sentences is good :) ) that would be helpful!"

Hm. My whole life and future in 2-3 sentences? Tough assignment. My answer:

I am interested in the intersection of development and ethics (How can we ensure international development is done ethically? How can we help develop ethical people?). My interest has led me to work in different substantive fields, of which I am drawn most toward public health, economic, and political development.

You try. It's hard!

Economics & Ethics.

I think this guy is ridiculously smart and can communicate his ideas well. Some gems from this 24 minute lecture (although, I highly recommend you listen to it all):

• "Obviously these ideas may seem a bit unconventional" Response?: "I would hope so."
• Economics started as a subset of philosophy (e.g. When is it okay to steal?)
• Economic growth is a function of ethics (See Old Testament.)
• Personal ethics is vital to market & politics
• I would like to add a philosophical base to the market.
• The Greek word for "debt" is the same word for "sin" ... "so it's kind of funny that this happened to Greece."

I have always loved this quote - saw it through a bakery window in Cambridge.


You know you're in Boston when...


Dad's flowers.


Cool bike. Would have been cooler without the three cars in the photo.



Love this photo of a perfect summer afternoon nap.


Home. 1639 is so old!


Found you, Mr. Snail! Probably the size of my pinkie fingernail.

Trash

I pick up trash when I'm out running. Usually, I do it on the Cape because it's pretty clean here and I want it to stay that way. I saw two people (men - one young, one old!) on my run this morning who had picked up trash while they were out for a walk. I dig it. Keeping it real...

...meanwhile, this running thing is kicking my butt. I love it.
