A Good Week

Thursday of last week was a really good day. I had breakfast with my good friend Kelsey in the city. We had a nice big cup of coffee with cereal and strawberries. I took the 33 line that goes through the Richmond District, Haight, Castro and then the Mission, and has a great view of downtown. I was listening to music and just enjoying the sunny morning. Then I got to work and had a very productive day. I had a check-in with my supervisor and talked to the executive director and had a very positive conversation about my work and my three weeks at GX! I love starting out my days with friends and enjoying my work!
Then Friday Happy Hour at work was a nice end to the week! A nice cold corona with lime!
I am really enjoying working at Global Exchange (GX) and getting to know my coworkers and our human rights work.

Something Shocking from Iraq

Okay, I know this is a mixed blog, about my travels and interesting experiences, and some political and opinion pieces. This post is disturbing, but good to be aware of.


The leaked video of US helicopter pilots shooting unarmed Iraqis (including children) and two Reuters journalists.

Is there any question why they hate us?

Callan and His Cuteness

When I came home from work I was catching up with Callan and he tells me that he and mom (MJ) went to lunch with a long lost family member. Mj has been following Geni, this online family tree site that sends a million updates via email, so she decided to finally meet some of her family our here. And Callan says, mom and I met her "double cousin," it was hilarious!

Callan is sooo cute, he is such a big 9 year old (ten in May).


Here is Callan in Ireland.
