“No justice, no peace.” We demand justice for the murder of George Floyd.
Curfews are in place. Peaceful protests continue. We walked through our neighborhood this afternoon. A very different place. The world has seen the images. Cities around the country are joining in protest.

On Thursday we celebrated my partner’s mom’s 90th birthday. Happy birthday Margie!
