MLK Day

Welp, it happened again, I left this space unattended.  So much happened between this blog and the last... hopefully I'll get back around to those things sometime.  Well, hey! It's 2012!!  And, although my students insist that the Mayans could possibly know when the world is ending because only God knows, I like to say, "you never know... you better learn all the algebra you can before the world ends."

Today's post is of a more serious nature.  I really like MLK Day.  I think it's one of the most important days of the year besides Christmas and Easter.  I feel particularly grateful for MLK today because of my marriage, which would have been difficult, to say the least, only 30 to 40 years ago.  Or, it might not have happened, though I'm not terribly fond of thinking on that theme.

So today, Lawry and I will eat our dinner together and thank God for MLK Jr's work so many years ago and for the work and the discussions people are having today about race and equality.  We'll be thankful for the life we have and the life we hope to give and guide our children through one day.

Us in Mexico City!  That's a place I'd like our kids to see, because I love it so.
