Peace Love and Vomit
So, with the major exceptions of the horrible news discussed above, and the horrible situation in Moscow as well, as well as thw minor exception of some intense baby stuff, I had a perfectly amazingly fabulous weekend.
Rose and I attended Peace Friday with friends as usual. That has become a highlight of my week, a beacon of hope, something that always makes me feel better. I love the people there, and I love the support we get from the community. I really do love Santa Cruz, for all its foibles, it is a wonderful place.
Saturday we got up early and hooked up with Sagemama and family, and headed up to SF. Rose threw up right as we were approaching the Whale City, Rose threw up all over everything. All over everything, I tell you. Many of the clothes we had packed, somehow, in addition to the car seat, diaper bag, me...
As they get older, the vomit thing definitely gets worse, at least with Rose. Luckily, Whale City has lots of paper towels, not to mention great coffee and raspberry croissants.
Onward to SF! We drove to the Misson and parked (and lost Sagemama and co in the parking disaster) and BARTed to the Montgomery station. The Peace March had started, but had not gotten there yet, so we stood and watched until we saw the Santa Cruz group, which was most of an hour. Some pics...
Here's what they looked like coming toward us...
These folks with the Peace Pretzels win an award from me...
All the way down at Civic Center...
Gotta run more later
