So much to say, so little time...
Lets see.... thing 1, Rose is 10 months today! And my friend N's little one is 5 years old! A momentous day. Yep!! We will have coffee and celebrate...
What else. I am in crazed preparation mode trying to get work and home ready for our family trek to Maui. My parents, my sister Sabina, her husband Aaron, their fetus, Mort, Rosie, and I, are off for 10 days of sand and sun. We will try to make a couple of entries from there!
In the wider world, two things I want to discuss...
First, yesterday was the completion of the presnetation of evidence in Judi Bari's Legal Case Against the FBI. (Daryl Cherneys case too!!!) Yesterday, Judi was finally able to testify, before a jury of her peers. In a videotaped statement, made 4 weeks before her death in 1997, Judi spoke about how the FBI tried to make it seem that the bomb which exploded in her car in 1991, shattering her pelvis and causing her permanent injury, had been placed there by her. All I can say is, Judi Bari was a brave, brilliant activist, for forests, women, children, labor, and life, and a kick ass fiddle player too. She finally got her day in court, and it will be up to the jury to decide now...
In other news, tanks seem to be moving into the Gaza Strip, apparently in retaliation for the suicide bombing near Tel Aviv Tuesday. Sigh. This can't be good. Electronic Intifada is a good news source for some perspectives often not seen in the general media...
OK, Gotta go eat pastries on the beach with the mamas for a little while...
