deep thoughts thursdays

I looked up Women in Black because I was curious about what it was. Apparently it is an anti-war group of women that hold silent vigils for justice and peace (and apparently shop at Kohl’s) not only in DC but internationally, too. The movement started in Israel in 1988 and is now practiced across the world in response to the many different conflicts of our times. I’m guessing, because of her location near the White House, that this woman in particular was showing her opposition to the Iraq war. What do you think about the statement on her sign?
Obama, welcome to Washington
November 5th, 2008
Obama wins, and the people celebrated last night in DC. I was definitely awake last night — well past 3am — to the sounds of joyous yelling, car honking galore, and general celebrational noises (fireworks). It’s an interesting time to be living in this city, and I’m looking forward to seeing how things will change in the next 6 months.
“young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.”
The Last Frontier

They made it! Though this news is a few weeks old, I thought I’d take a break from DC pictures to post an update from my crazy adventurous side of the family. David, Kristy, Dusty, and Kodi are now residing in Chugiak, Alaska on Lori Street (hell yeah!). I’m not sure how they took this picture, either they know how to use the camera self timer or they asked a wild moose or bear.

for the sushi lovers…
November 3rd, 2008
These are my sushi candy Halloween treats — rice krispy treats, fruit-by-the-foot, Swedish fish, marshmallows, and Runts candies. They look cute, but some of the flavor combinations could use a little work. I wish I could say that I came up with this delicacy, but I saw it on somebody else’s blog awhile ago… YUM
