Entry 6:

Rhodeman,

You haven't seen Van lately, have you? We're not talking perfection here, I'm afraid. But he knows how to sing.

I just read the latest from 43. Today the leader of the free world is touting his concern about gun control. Well, not actually increasing our control of the zillion guns out in people's hands, but just enforcing the laws already on the books. I have many problems with this, but it troubles me especially because it takes the focus off the real problem. Why are people hurting and killing each other? And how can we change that? Stop the brutalization of children, and they won't grow up to brutalize others. It seems as simple and as complex as that. The problem is that it won't stop today's headlines. It's a slow fix.

No time to elaborate more. ... It's time to fly. 

xo,
G

P.S.: I can't get the day's first image out of my head: You crawling naked across the bedroom floor toward the window--gobbling at the tom. Gobble gobble gobble.
