Edessa vs. Odessa (9/19/10)

Another annual Glendi in Santa Rosa, Calif. Edessa yesterday. Helladelics today. Lotsa food. Happy, and tired. Do you like dancing on asphalt concrete with the aggregate exposed? Feet sore, but surprisingly, the soles of shoes not worn through.

    KG: Glad it was another great one.
   
    LL: ...were you doing security at the Bellydance thing in Sebastopol?

    KG: Yeah... Miha was with me but we talked about Odessa and the fun you must be having.

    LL:  ...one of my grandmas was from Odessa ;^)

    KG:  Thanks for the good hugs this morning.

    LL:  ...the other grandma was an orangutan.

    KG:  HA!

quote of the week: "Though Abunimah seems calm and even reasonable, he is extremely radical. When countering him, maintain your own composure and be as rational as he is."

Things Men and Boys Can Do To Stop Human Trafficking (8/23/10)

"Males spaces such as barbershops, locker rooms, fraternities and union halls are the real classrooms where boys learn to become men and where men develop most of their ideas about how to interact with women." ("10 Things Men and Boys Can Do to Stop Human Trafficking")

Bobby: Hey Coach! Can boys help stop human trafficking?

Coach: You betcha, Bobby! There's a lot that boys can do! ....

why a wig is mo bettah than a headscarf (8/9/10)

Learn and benefit: Why a wig is WAY superior to a scarf.

Chapter 4 - Wearing A Sheitel

burka Jew: "At first, I just wore a wig..." (8/8/10)

'"At first, I just wore a wig," one burka-wearing woman told the Haaretz newspaper. "Now when I see a woman with a wig, I pray to God to forgive her for wearing that thing on her head." Since donning the burka, the woman said she had been taunted by neighbours who called her a "smelly Arab" and that Israeli soldiers had asked to see her identification papers to prove she was not a Muslim. They backed down, she said, when she showed them that her children were clearly Jewish.'
