May Thoughts

It's a sunny and windy day in the village, and my cherry tree in the back yard is waving in the wind and raining pink petals.

Now that my torn tendon is on the mend, I'm planning to do more singing with Occupella; it's been too long.

I tried last month to get into the Wells Fargo shareholder meeting, having bought a single share for that purpose. The day before the meeting, I attended three hours of activism training along with 150 other single shareholder/activists. However, the suits were on to us from the start. The building was ringed with police and suits from the crack of dawn, and the gatekeepers kept lying to us about when and where they would let us into the meeting. Only about 20 lucky souls got in and said their piece. Standing around and sitting around in a large crowd of protesters for several hours made me tired and sore, and upset. So I forgot all about the support group meeting that I could have attended, and went directly home.

Jan and I have tickets for two concerts by members of the SF Symphony playing all six of Bach's Brandenburg Concerti this coming Saturday. Should be quite lovely.
