WHAT is up with Portuguese???!!!!!!
I finally and only just made it through your posts...sorry we've been literally and actually swamped here. Denali's made it through her first tv appearance at a rally to support Oakland's teachers...a strike is planned for the 20th. So as far as politics go: it's about education...dummy! Really...it's intentional that the Americans run their school system based on the prison system and eventually we'll be able to provide that uneducated cheap labor force that will bring manufacturing back to the US.

To blog or not to blog: Aeh, to blog with it, I'm bloggin it.

Miss seeing you all. love,
Hiroko, et al.
