MLK day. Watching a great documentary right now and man, we are fucked up society. Still. The race differences still permerate our government and society as does the idea that violence solves anything. I didn't know this but MLK studied and followed Ghandi's example. I respect how outspoken he was about the need to face aggression with civil disobedience. But at great costs and decades later we (policy makers) seem to still have their heads up thair asses. But enough about that here. I got to spend the day focused on getting some lingering tasks done in throughout the moderately rainy day. I focused on and actually completed a long-delayed effort to transcribe an interview with my dad's 1st wife and sent to her via my half-sister Lisa for fact-checking before publishing with annotated photos. I'm really happy to have gotten that setup managed. Meanwhile, in parallel, Tommy called en route back from Tahoe saying he got banged up pretty bad and was in a great deal of pain. I didn't think there was a high risk of anything being 'broken' but opt'd to check via Urgent Care all the same. He's ok just dramatically banged up. Life lesson learned, hopefully.
Gratitude: Access to medical assistance in short notice and late in the evening of a holiday. And that nothing serious came of his injury of course.
Goal: Aggressively productive work day.
