"Great, now you've pissed off nana" et al.


SATURDAY was very busy--Judd freed of the burden of grading papers, making lesson plans and accumulating science experiment gear.  We played all day.  We finished up our 
protest signs and met up with thousands for the second annual Women's March, this one in Medford, OR, just 1 minutes from our house. 
Many upbeat, energized people, may cool signs and slogans.  We debated wearing the pussy hat, hearing that if offended some people who didn't have pink pussies or didn't have female genitalia. With the inclusivity of the march, it seemed the original wholesome intent of the original hat, to make an iconic statement, was upheld and there were plenty of magenta pink, baby pink, rose pink hats everywhere.  It made me cry to see the national and world participation pics after Sunday.


We beat the crowds to Organic Cafe with the "best salad bar" and while we were downtown, walked to the Medford Library.  Our card gets us to all 17 Jackson County libraries with reciprocity to pick up or return books, tapes or DVDs.  

--2 library cards
--2 book stores (one at the library, one in downtown Ashland)
--whiskey tasting at Immortal Spirits (whiskEy with an E--so not the Scotch we're used to but distilled right locally and quite good)
--shopping at Sew Creative and The Web-sters (a quilting store and knitting shop) in search of a device to pick up lost knitting stitches  (I have an order for more pussy hats)
--wine tasting with live music at Belle Fiori (a chateau of a winery on the hills above Ashland)
--home to make pico de gallo but no tortilla chips so--a walk to Ray's at 7pm for shopping

Quite a full day!   AND Judd also has no homework for Sunday..... What shall we do?
