believe what you ask??? you might think i'm referring to an action on someone's part that can only produce incredulity (hey, no shortage of that in the world) or, rather, some sort of epiphanic moment i had over the weekend...

nope, much simpler than that ... i took the entire weekend off from organizing to abolish the death penalty...

sure you're disappointed that it's not something more compelling than that but it is, um, highly unusual, like, say, catching a glimpse of an endangered species or something...

it's well known that the lil' jesuit dude and i are somewhat of the workaholics - no analysis please - so taking a saturday and sunday off with no office time, no web surfing, no media work is just plain weird...

so how did i spend my smelling the roses time??? i read a collection of ursula leguin short stories and some 200 pages of ringolevio ( a good read to be for sure); i cleaned my bedroom corner to corner, ceiling to floor, 4th dimensions and all and redid the feng shui thingy(as well as other parts of the house); i worked in my perennial garden; did some cooking; and combed lots of hair off my doggies...

anyway, i returned to the office and the state still intends to kill paul reid and sedley alley on june 28th so back to work i go ... it was, however, helpful to stop and smell those roses...

peace out - <3
