Sorry I forgot to mention yesterday was the two year anniversary of the important council meeting at the High School. Doesn’t it seem like ages ago? We were all so young then…
Last night’s JMA awards was an amazing reminder that there are very good people doing astonishing grand things in the world. Lee Stetson as John Muir was a revelation and I was in tears by the end of it. We had been called the night before to take him out for a late night beaver viewing, and I told him I was sure when he was quoting Muir’s passion for the sentinel Sequoias he loved and worked so hard for, (“If just one of these colonels could go to Washington and argue on its own behalf, just one, we would never talk about cutting them down again”) he was really thinking about our beavers.
Well maybe that was just me.
Like that fateful day two years ago, it was a beauteous night and made me excited to be a part of something so rare and wonderous. I’m sure I’ll write more later, must dash to the Save Mt. Diablo event. Watch some of the video, skip through the 45 council minutes and just watch the people comments. They are stunning.
Happy Anniversary Martinez! It’s been a heck of a ride!
