Hell and Indian

Submitted by robin on Sat, 03/14/2009 - 9:07pm

While visiting family in Washington, DC, I was blown away by the art of Louise Bourgeious and Fritz Scholder. One of Louise's pieces has this statement embroidered:

I've been to hell and back

And let me tell you, it was wonderful!

Fog: Seriously

Submitted by robin on Wed, 01/21/2009 - 9:30pm

The last several evenings since Sunday, Seattle has been besieged by fog. I mean thick fog. The kind that blocks out city lights. I'm driving across I5 (heading North toward Fremont), and as I cross the canal I can not see any street lights of the surrounding area. The University District is black. It really is unbelievable.

The Real Story about President Obama

Submitted by robin on Tue, 01/20/2009 - 9:22pm

Everyone keeps talking about this historic Inauguration. It is true. It is historic. Someone has been elected who is like no previous President. No, it's not that he's bi-racial or African American or that his father is from Kenya.

In my life time, I never thought a good looking man would be elected President. It's true. I felt confident that we could get to the point as a nation to have a person of color as President. I am confident, we will vote for a woman as President, but good looking? No way.
