Start a Revolution

After years of being registered as an independent voter, I have finally found my political party home. Now I just have to move to Canada to join.

Maria Shriver




Maria Shriver visits the Farmer's Market in downtown Watsonville. Her visit was interrupted by a protest from the Brown Berets, who were protesting her husband's (Gov. Schwarzenegger's) politics. I support the Brown Berets, but she was here in support of better access to fresh fruits and vegetables for food stamp recipients. Maybe this wasn't the time or place for protest...

Remembering Belize...

I was hit by a car in Belize.
On some days, now, almost two months later, I forget about that. More and more days, actually. I'm lucky that I am injured so little that I can forget.
But occasionally, I remember. Like now...sitting for too long in one position, and my back has a funny ache that moves back and forth across my spine, and refuses to go away when I stretch. Or like this weekend, when my right hip just feels funny a lot.
I think there are a lot of lessons to learn when one is hit by a car. Maybe my body is trying to remind me of that. I'm sure I haven't learned them all.
