I turned 50 in 2007, so I'm practicing curmudgeon-like behavior by stressing, "whatever it is, I'm agin' it!" Call me anarcho-syndicalist or progressive, except I think most anarchists and progressives are as annoying as neocons. I like to point folks to way-outside-the-mainstream literature and music, while grumbling about everything else.

Boston and Near-War Myths
The weekend of June 17 was a meeting of the Global Network in N. Andover, MA, north of Boston. It was wonderful to see all kinds of friends from 20 years of activism in the field, and to make new friends as well. But the best part of the weekend was staying in Cambridge with friends Matt and Kelly on Saturday, and spending time with their delightful daughter Anna, who taught me how to play the piano, how to be a pirate and search for buried treasure in the form of purple snails in the potty, and how to color Tinkerbelle's friends in the appropriate magical shades.

I flew out to Boston with Bill Sulzman, got picked up by an old Colorado Springs friend Chris, held a vigil at Raytheon headquarters in N. Andover, and then spent all day Saturday in plenary sessions and keynotes. Below, I've embedded Part 1 of a workshop we did - Part 2 is here, and Part 3 is here.
Godspeed, Loring, always and ever, and thank you, thank you for all you do and have done these 20 years. Here's to 20 more and 20 more after that! And to much accomplished and transformed as a result.
