Tragedy. In light of Black History Month I wanted us all to see what challenges to our existence there are. This young man in Nigerian by culture and parentage, but he was born here in the US. We need to give our children love and support. We need to give them hope. We need to be their refuge in their struggle. We too often fail because we want to mimic and be like the mainstream society. We can't. We must create and re-create our own history; our own culture and traditions.

2nd sick day this week...sniffly, sneezy, kind of want to sleep all day sick. But I had time to think about the state of the world and the state of life as we know it.

I have had time to think about the bonuses that the CEOs paid themselves. I have had time to think about bailouts and executive salaries. I have had time to laugh about the music and the football game and so much stuff.
