On May 1 I joined about 2,000 other people in a rally for immigrant rights, held in St. Louis, Missouri. We marched several blocks to the rally’s center, and as we marched we sang “Siyahamba” in multiple languages, including Swahili, English, and Spanish. (“We are marching in the light of God”) Once at the rally [...]

Each year my workplace gives away over 3,500 turkeys the day before Thanksgiving. I really worked my bis and tris today, lifting hundreds of ten-pound frozen turkeys. I even worked my legs, from stomping down cardboard boxes: My favorite moment was when my coworker Bill (who just turned 39 yesterday!) saw the giant pile of cardboard boxes and [...]

My best friend Heather is living with me for ten weeks this summer, working in the same food pantry where I work part of the week (the other part spent upstairs in my office). That’s why I haven’t posted in awhile. She and I have been too busy going on walks around Liberty Park, almost [...]

Sound the trumpets! Here’s an online clip from yesterday’s press conference. And tonight on the news was the following…which I had to quickly get my own camera to record…sorry for the quality: I find that having a deep voice is the only way people can tell I’m not 17. (By the way–to respond to Bruce [...]

I’ll leave you with these last few shots from my Christmas visit to Homer: sunrise on the new year – January 1, 2009: little birdies amongst the water and ice – brrrrr: (This was from yesterday. We went to the end of the Homer spit, to a restaurant called The Chart Room. We sat by the window and looked [...]
3,300 free turkeys

My workplace has two big turkey giveaways, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. Today was my first taste of all the work involved. I tossed turkeys on an assembly line, bagged potatoes & apples, directed traffic, coordinated volunteers, broke down cardboard boxes, and lost my voice. I thought about taking pictures of the enormous [...]
