YOUR Gnome– on a Travel Adventure

Important Announcement:
Into the Great Un-Gnome Enterprises is now accepting new applications for Gnome Participants. Do you believe in Gnome Liberation? We realize launching a vision to the world on April Fool's Day carries some risk. We assure you, our enterprise is no joke. You see, many gnomes long to journey beyond the forced labor of gardening, and decorative posing for the open road adventures that lie beyond the garden fence. But how can they be free? Into the Great Un-Gnome Enterprises is the answer. Free your gnome from a garden near you, or the confines of a shop, and send him on a travel adventure of a lifetime. Trevor, pictured here at the beach on his travel adventure, was redeemed from the slavery trade at Mastergardening.com

Your gnome will be featured in the next available travel adventure, along with photos and descriptions of his activities along the way. No spending money or travel costs are required, because Into the Great Un-Gnome Enterprises covers all gnome related travel and activity expenses. Facebook and blog updates will capture the adventure, and the release of your gnome, back into the wild for you and the world to see. The first five rescuers to free a gnome will receive trip souvenirs, and a personalized photo album of the trip as a keepsake to treasure forever.

Simply ship the gnome you wish to liberate to our Travel Gnome Handlers Service, c/o Ovation Enterprises, 49 S. 2nd St Cressona, PA 17292, with his name, and any vital information necessary, such as age, nationality, allergies, previous work and medical history (if known), travel experience, and tastes, etc.

What kind of an adventure can your rescued gnome expect? We prefer to keep the actual trip a surprise for each gnome, but gnomes may experience a wide variety of adventures, such as white water rafting, caber tossing, swimming with shrieking eels, mountain climbing and orienteering, beach volleyball, wilderness campouts, amusements parks, late night cheesecake outings incognito, jig festivals, and so much more. In the end, we free each gnome back into the woods, or a safe environment, to live the rest of his days in serenity–leaving the haunting memories of grueling gardening servitude far behind him.

Won’t you please make a wish come true for a gnome and free one from oppression today? We can make a difference for justice, one gnome at a time.

T-shirts to support gnome liberation are available at another gnome-friendly site.

Donations in any amount for the care of gnomes are greatly appreciated, but are not tax-deductible.

Please spread the word, and thank you for your support.

Natural Allergy Relief- local honey

I thought this was a great tip I want to try this Spring.

5. Local honey : It is recommended that you start eating about 1-2 teaspoons of locally grown natural honey before the allergy season starts. Bees are known to collect pollen from local plants. Therefore honey is known to have some low levels of pollen, and taking it before the season helps your body to get use to some pollen level in advance before the full blown season strikes.

After a bike crash Lance Armstrong will be in surgery for a broken right clavicle (collarbone). This will be a major setback to his training for the Tour de France this summer. Follow his twitter for his updates.

Gnome in NYC

Here's a quick photo tour of NYC highlights with Trevor. Fun stuff, that day.

Impressions

I saw the play Impressions on Saturday in NYC. Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen at the Schoenfeld Theatre. Lots of beautiful paintings, love right in front you, and a joyful ending.

waking up

People might say, "Have you found Jesus?" or "Have you received God." or something like that.

Now, I see it more like waking up from a dream were you thought you were alone. More accurately, I don't think we find God or that he finds us. I think we realize he's there. (Not that God is a "he".) We dawn to the conception, and also to the experience, of a Reality we didn't accept or encounter before. And then we realize God really is everywhere, holding it altogether, and we were either too childish, or too blind to see it. God is not something we get to hold in our hand, or even in our mind all that well–receive or acquire–it's a journey of consciousness. Awakening. (And a gift of grace.) And it is a continual progression into deeper levels. Especially if we can be brave.

Woe, No-ah Way.

Back in the day, they thought Noah was crazy. Johan Huibers in the Netherlands is getting similar reactions. Like Noah, he thinks he's on a mission from God. His ark replica (scale model) is 3/4 of a football field long, and he offers rides along the local canals.
