Next Saturday I will be a participant in the women's march. I went last year and hadn't seen a march that large since the 1980s. It begins at 72nd Street and Central Park West at 11 AM. Let's be loud and proud. I also hope that this will produce some actions in which we can take part in.
It's been snowy and cold here in New York. Temperatures have been in the twenties with the wind chill in the single digits. Listen everyone, it's March and the weather can be quite turbulent. Had some freezing rain which makes the roads very treacherous. Drive safely!
It's tournament time in college basketball. I follow all divisions (one, two, three, NAIA) , men and women. I'm a big fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels. I'm still working on my brackets (Division I) so I will let you know my picks by Thursday.
This past Saturday I marched in the Million Women's March here in New York City. I arrived at Grand Central around 12:30 and the street was already packed. I was able to jump in and march. Behind me and ahead of me there people as far as my eyes could see.
There were women of all ages, families, men, even pets. I haven't seen a march this big since 68? Crowd estimate was around 400,000. I met up with a friend later and we marched together. We talked about the need to sustain the pressure on those in power. Local and state issues are just as important. There were marches all over the world. I read about a small town of 200 in the Midwest and 66 people marched. WOW! People are letting this administration know that we are not sitting still and staying silent.
