Last Saturday we were booked with American Airlines to fly home from vacation.   Between the time of the original booking and the flight American changed the flight times, narrowing our connecting flight buffer to 51 minutes.  I was up half the night before worrying about the potential for missing the connection, but in my wildest anxiety I could never have conjured up the torturous gauntlet American presented to us. 

The refugee crisis is on everyone’s mind. Discussed. Debated. The topic brings out the best, and the worst. Recently, Flo and I were at the Public Theatre on Lafayette Street.

Driving to basketball (and after we played friends there thought I should blog on our 4 v 4 full court games) this morning Adam LaRoche dominated the sportstalk radio airwaves; and as well when we left the gym and I turned on the radio again.

It will be a year tomorrow that I euphemistically got "hit by a bus."

However, when I reflect, I think of a moment in the hospital that was very special.  

Movement is defined as an act of changing physical location or position or of having things changed. Also as a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social or artistic ideas.   In this time of great social, economic, artistic and political movements I want to protest a mostly involuntary movement which effects society as a whole.   It causes mass confusion and forces us all to change long ingrained habits and patterns.  It also causes us to lose sleep and even lose time.
