I moved to California in 1978. John and his wife Phyllis became my family. They welcomed me and whomever I brought over, a successive series of girlfriends, my future wife, Donna and of course, our children. Their home became our place of warmth and love through successive crises, celebrations and holidays. This blog celebrates and honors my love for them and an investigation of art from a very subjective point of view.

The Union thing
During my first period yesterday I started a blog about this union thing that I am wading through at the moment. I wrote a full blog, decided that it was an indecipherable vent and erased it. So I won't bore you with the details. Through each small break of the day I communicated with someone else on this issue. At 8:30 PM last night I got a called from Bill, one of our negotiators. He is heavy handed and abrasive and I heard his story. I feel that I met him one for one over the phone. The discussion had an intensity that I have had in a conversation since my arguments with my father over politics. When I got off the phone, Donna had heard it and wondered if I was bummed out by the call. I said to her. "Actually, I'm invigorated." I have to give it to Bill. He has made me rethink this situation. But we have an emergency meeting on Tuesday and thankfully Helen, our local consultant will be there.
