Its been quite a while since the last post. Lots has happened, mostly good for me and my folks, not so good for the world.
The world:
Earthquakes in Mexico, ethnic cleansing in Myanmar; three awful hurricanes; slaughter in Las Vegas. The earthquakes and hurricanes couldn't be prevented but so much more could be done, to help the survivors and manage the future with climate science not a debatable issue. The ethnic cleansing and slaughter in Las Vegas can be prevented but politics keeps winning over people.
Personally:
- Submitted a manuscript for a book of poems entitled "Life on Cloud 8". Catchy title, no? Hopefully it will be published. Planning on sharing all proceeds with a worthy charity, like the Red Cross, Planned Parenthood. Other ideas welcome.
- Two lovely vacations; the first to Alaska which is in the process of melting, but there's still a lot left to see and wonder at. The second to Barcelona and the Catalonia region of Spain, which is in the process of exploding over section issues. A pic from each below
