Killer Rabbits, Copenhagen and Bhutan

I've been a busy boy heading into the holiday season. I'm thrilled that some of my creative writing ventures will soon see the light of day. Two short literary stories of mine will be published next fall, one in Descant and one (about a vengeful rabbit) in the Nashwaak Review, both excellent literary journals.

On the journalisty side I've been blogging for The Coast on the current climate change conference in Copenhagen---quite a feat from here in Halifax. I have more than a dozen posts up there so far, which you can read by clicking the picture below:


I've also been doing some work for fellow writer Silver Donald Cameron, putting together some briefing notes on prominent environmental people who are meeting in Bhutan right now. They are looking at Bhutan's innovative Gross National Happiness index, and determining how a national education system could conform to GNH prinicples.

It was so interesting I did a column on it, which you can see by clicking on this picture:


I find it an inspiring example but as you'll see in the comments on that story, Bhutan is no angel. I'd welcome any thoughts you might have about it.
