It's has been such a blur over the weekend. The tragedy in Spain in the middle of waves of people coming in for our petition kick off sign up, and a full weekend of events.
Yesterday I went from dawn to nearly midnight --from our church to watching our local Rabbi give an interfaith talk at St. Laurence Catholic church--the biggest in Sugar Land (well received), and I ended up at a Muslim school event until late. It was an interfaith Sunday quite by chance. More on it later.
Got to run. Memorial today for the Spanish people killed by Al Qaida striking Europe for the first time. The Spanish people were so mad that the government withheld evidence that this was Al Qaida's first European target for backing Bush's war against Muslim Iraq that it got the boot. There is a Memorial today.
Later...
3:15 p.m. Amazing. Went to the Spanish consul to sign the book of condolences - and while waiting to sign in walked former President George H.W. Bush (Bush 41).
Since he was about a foot away and no one said anything, I said: "Welcome, Mr. President."
Consul General Montesino, the former President and I ended up in a discussion of recent events as the President kindly waited his turn to sign the booik.
I've got to run again, but here's a couple photos - Aura Rodriquez, the Venezuela consul general was so kind to use my camera to take these, and I thank her.
It ended up that my entry was the first to follow President Bush's...Got to run again.
