What a Glorious Day for the "Liberty Parade"

Gustaf and the RNC Planning Folks are in full swing!  My colleague Lolly,  granddaughter Myah and I were hustled out of the Guthrie yesterday after "Little House" - 2nd Street was being closed and when the Education Staff from the Guthrie annouced that the post show discussion with the cast would be a little shorter because the Guthrie would be closed for an RNC Host Party --- the boos were resounding --- she looked up at us and reminded us that SHE was not giving a political speech.   The city is buzzing - the police are doing raids to capture anarchists - and the creative juices are flying === check out the UnConvention site --- go to Walker Art Center -- if I was a slick blogger I could give you a direct link...hard not to be affected by a National Convention in your town, especially since it has been since 1892 - they served food outside in a makeshift tent and rivaled the "windy city" as the menu was only pork and beans.  So we have that history and 40 years ago I was in the midst of the Democratic Convention in Chicago learning about the contradictions of peaceful protests!  As for healing I am off to the rolling hills of Wisconsin, nestling in the Driftless Region (that part of the state the is un-glaciated) which is my heart home.   Be safe out there!
