Technically the Summer isn't over yet, but we all know that Fall is right around the corner. I can sleep with my windows open once again, play soccer without fear of heat stroke, and school has started back up for lots of you.

I thought I'd do a quick list of 25 things I did this Summer (since June and in no particular order)…

1- Spoke at a conference in Portland sponsored by Food Fight and Herbivore.

2- Spoke at a conference for young Jains in Chicago.
