I went downtown to Pike Place and saw Dave Matthews this afternoon. I was hoping to catch Jill Cohn but was too late. Dave sang at the rally to benefit old growth forests. He related that there was a time when the term jazz was a derogatory one and that now he is glad to be known as a tree hugger. You go Dave. And to those who rely on this terminology as a weapon, your time will pass because we cannot afford, and the earth cannot afford to listen to you much longer. There is a middle way; all parties have to talk.

I tried to upload some pictures of Dave and my trip to Concrete, Washington but the msn site won't work right.
