3 things

Unrelated things on my mind:

1. John is in Blacksburg reporting on the shootings. It's weird and sad. You can see the chronicle coverage at www.chronicle.com. In other news a couple weeks ago he wrote a really good story on african american graduate student debt in the field of education: http://chronicle.com/free/v53/i31/31a01001.htm

2. My parents are moving to mill valley in marin. I think we should compile a book of memories about the san francisco 3456 Jackson street house, which my dad's parents bought in the mid century, so if you'd like to contribute please send email vignettes to rosedakin@hotmail.com. Maybe I'll make a blog for the stories. 

3. The LL work week in california is scheduled for mid June. If you'd like to contribute your sweat please email us at rose.johnny@gmail.com.
(3.5. There may be a task force forming on an LL artists and writers retreat program. If you have connections to foundations or other potential donors or partner organizations we'd love to hear from you. We're exploring art/ music/ nature/ philosophy/ education/ indigenous heritage synergies.)
