No, it’s not January 2017. It’s May 2025.
This was taken at a Boston protest that Ken and I attended just after the Muslim ban. Do you remember how inspiring it was to see armies of volunteer lawyers sitting cross-legged on airport terminal floors offering advocacy? Because I do.
What would this young man’s sign say in 2025, I wonder.
Tomorrow we’re off to Colorado. I don’t know why but I clean like a fiend for our house-sitter. He’s such a nice guy. He gets a clean stove, dusted rooms, polished bathrooms, wiped down appliances, and even grime-free slats on a few of our (endless) closet doors with louvres.
It’s going to rain in Newton all week. Not a bad few days to be away.
I have to post this NYTimes article as a marker (gifted so you can all read). I didn’t think our complicity in torture and humanitarian abuses in Gaza could get any worse. I was wrong.
Gosh Dee, looking back is really hard. How could we have guessed where we’d be? What didn’t we know better – do better? How do we get through this? How can humans do so much harm to one another?

I usually clean the house before we go away, not for a housesitter but for myself … didn’t do that this time around (we just got back from a long weekend at Port Aransas) and am kicking myself because cleaning is the last thing I feel like doing
have a great time in Colorado … hopefully the news isn’t too much of a distraction
I get it. It’s nice to come home to a clean house.
