Safety and Networking in the Summer and Rest of the Year, At Home and About Town

The events I attended in the last part of August 2019 went well ...I saw opening night of Joseph and the Amazing Dreamcoat at the Sharon Playhouse (A for Awesome production, and a shout out to the kids who kept up with the long run...as well as the amazing performers of all stripes.) That does summarize the story of Joseph, the favorite son of his 12 sons--likely by different wives but sons all the same.

From Whippings to Whirlwind Emergencies and Wondering What It All Means

 There are moments in time that seem a movie is being made. A profound coming together of forces seemingly 'beyond one's control' or an interaction between people, places, forces of nature that take one's life 'off course' and on a new path.

Trying Again to Get the Added Comments In on that Post Below... On Eric Garner, Preventing Violence in general and Choke Holds by Police

I appreciate the incredible work police do when they are needed in emergencies. As a person living in Brooklyn for much of the past few years, I have had to learn more about the ways police can be prone and even 'mistrained' or stray from their training to do harm.

One of the most serious cases in recent years which spurred the Black Lives Matter Movement and for the public to consider is the way Eric Garner was possibly profiled (by whom and for what purpose has yet to be clarified.)
