…I’m sorry that you didn’t join the Women’s March yesterday, or at least give a shout-out of support to the thousands of women who hit the streets around the nation. I loved seeing the photos in the WP of signs from the Miami march reading, “Don’t TexAss my Florida.” Catchy, don’t you think?…

…I got a smile out of the photos of House Appropriations Chair, Rosa Delauro & her purple hair. I wonder if her hair-do was inspired by the poem, “When I am an Old Woman, I shall Wear Purple.” At 78, she’s not really that old. I am impressed that she has stayed in Congress for 30 years!

…Then VP KDH could brag about the benefits of democracy when she talks with the QUAD guys this afternoon. PM Modi (NDM) needs to hear that. As you know, he tends toward the autocratic side of the spectrum. I hope KDH can help him see the Light…..

…I invite you to join me in the Biking for Burma Fund-athalon. It’s a healthy, fun way to keep the people of Myanmar in your thoughts. I’m afraid news of their plight is subsiding from the press so efforts such as these let them know that they are not forgotten…
