Not my best blog entry...
By now you may have noticed that I am typically behind in doing these entries. There's 'mucho' going on, a lack of sufficient sleep, too much coffee (but good coffee), etc. You get the idea. So my writing to me is disjointed...Joycian... I would say Stream of Conscious...
There have been raids going on here in the Twin Cities. Watch or listen to Democracy Now (democracynow.org) for actual footage and report on Monday. Amy is here reporting it all. It may also get on Free Speech TV. I hope for a wider broadcasting. However, as you know, that might not occur. We hope NOT to go to jail (realy, that could make me miss my flight and due date back to work). However, it's gotten hairy already.
Last night, Carlos and my work was acknowledged by Jeremy Scahill in his speech (i.e. Author of Blackwater expose on mercenary forces). People gave us a standing ovation. Um, I didn't feel good about that and sort of shrank into my seat. That was humbling. I felt like shouting "Please people. We are just 'normal' people doing what we have to do to get through abnormal times." This is all about Alex and not losing our minds from all the stress, grief, anguish. Truly, I was and continue to be conflicted.
I have been thinking and praying over Brian. He is my stepson and my sun! However, he's been so out of it. I worry. Brian was the first one to love me unreservedly when he was six. I pray for him and his present and future....
Today we stay with elder Minnesotans Patrick and Jenny - Both are cute as buttons! Juan Torres is staying with them as well. However, first we do a memorial march to the RNC site. Of course, isn't that you typically do on your sunny Sunday in MN?
Carlos goes to Chicago after DNC to see Tomas Young. Then onto Cleveland...Then home by next weekend.....Miss my dogs....There were two puppies here last night that gave me love....
