Soooo... haven't been blogging much lately. Sorry bout that. The spirit just hasn't moved me to. Maybe the humidity has destroyed it.
Atlanta is rainy and humid right now. Just like my past six summers (!!!) in DC and Seoul. Why do I always choose to go to humid gross places for the summer instead of being smart and staying in CA? Why????
And yes, I'd like some cheese with that whine.
Things are actually going okay out here. Went to Alabama this weekend and did a mini civil rights tour- Montgomery and Birmingham. Saw where RosaParks got arrested, where MLK preached and marched, the cell door from the jail where he wrote "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," the church where the four little girls died. The south has a lot of history, both disgusting and inspiring. I always wonder how the children and grandchildren of both black and white southerners whose images were captured on film- defying segregation or defending it- feel now when they see some of those terrible, terrible images. Also, you'd be shocked at how many people were murdered during the civil rights era, and whose killers were never prosecuted, or were aquitted. Anyways, as difficult as some of it was to see, I really enjoyed. And now I can say I went to Alabama.
I've had trouble sleeping lately. It sucks. But I think it's getting better.
Coming home July 31. Yeaaaah!
Pictures to come. I've been saying that for a while. But it's true.
