I should do that here in Xenia :) But I should probably call it something else.

That's a big deal! I'm sure you'll get much accomplished in a week. You love organizing and getting rid of stuff, though ... since 1966? It will be like an archeological dig.<br /><br />I agree about Cuba. And Pakistan.<br /><br />Also impressed that you're still capturing the streets of London. It's a monumental project - they're so lucky to have you.<br /><br />I would love to see the pictures the artist took of you in preparation for doing your portrait. You have such a great face.<br /><br />Have a wonderful time in Michigan! Post pictures, ok?<br /><br />Love and Shalom and happy Christmas!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-76155498982648108962014-12-18T09:52:33.107+00:002014-12-18T09:52:33.107+00:00Love her boots!Love her boots!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-47515947531788913752014-12-18T08:23:31.675+00:002014-12-18T08:23:31.675+00:00I know the charge wasn't murder outright, but ...I know the charge wasn't murder outright, but even being an accessory -- especially in light of the history of sexual assault -- seems to warrant more than bail. At least, I think in the U.S. it would. (Not that our justice system is any sort of paragon.) Admittedly you're geographically closer to the story than I am so you may know more, but to me it seems puzzling that he would be walking free.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-71025003369567163932014-12-18T08:03:51.173+00:002014-12-18T08:03:51.173+00:00I really should know better than to comment on thi...I really should know better than to comment on this very divisive and highly emotional topic because I have been more than a little critical of the media handling and public response to the siege in Sydney for a number of reasons, but here goes...<br />according to reports, the judge's decision was, under law in the state of NSW, to grant this man bail on a charge of being an accessory before and after a murder - not a charge of murder, because there was not a strong enough case presented by the prosecution to deny him bail.<br />It is a complex legal situation; the business of remand/bail and later parole after a sentence has been served, have both have been the subject of heated debate for quite some time in this country. Points of law and justice are not necessarily the same thing.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.com
