Some Things I'm Learning at the UN Conference
- People are all the same.
- People are really different.
- Birds have accents.
- Corporate representatives from oil companies should not give power point presentations to 700 children and 300 adults who haven't had a pee break in 3 hours.
- If you get up at 5:00 am the lineup for showers won't be very long.
- There are some pretty amazing children in the world.
- Life can be very lovely, even if gas is $2.65/litre.
- If there's a seedy side to Norway, they're hiding it well.
- There is breathtaking beauty in this country.
- There appear to be no mosquitoes or squirrels in Stavanger.

I will gladly make a donation for the cause. We certainly have more than enough to spare here, and I will even throw in a dozen free chipmunks.
Good luck with the conference. Don't let them spin you into saying something you don't mean.

I've noticed that some of the birds here look familiar, like mourning doves and chickadees, but they sing a slightly different song.
Thanks for your encouragement. As a chaperone, my role is more cat herder than participant, but the kids are doing well.
