The Tyranny Of Email: Hillary knows best

hillary-and-email

With the latest scuffle over Secretary Hillary Clinton’s server and her long-ago admitted-to poor choices in that regard, we are hearing about emails again. Not Hillary’s, but someone who wrote to someone who is close to her. We think. We don’t know, the FBI isn’t sure. Rumor has it that Anthony Weiner is somehow involved, a man with shockingly (possibly criminally) poor choices when it comes to sending things out into cyberspace.

We don’t know what the latest emails contain, they may be duplicates. What we heard from the FBI is simply that they exist. But it has stirred up Donald Trump and his supporters, that we know. We’ll see whether or not there is any there there; Mr. Trump, a man with plenty of his own there there, is certain there is.

Remember the photo of Secretary Clinton on her blackberry and her dark glasses, and many of us were proud of a woman in her fifties being so hip (and still is)? Now I bet she wishes all along she was a ludite.

Emails are burdensome to all of us. But our burdens are nothing compared to Secretary Clinton’s email headaches.

 

Rise Up As One: Live drawing a historic concert on the border of Mexico

img_5673I was excited and honored to be invited to live draw Rise Up As One, an amazing, historic concert on the border of Mexico, put on by Univision and Fusion. Lucky to be situated on the side of the stage,  I drew what I could onstage (sadly I missed a few early acts). It was exhilarating, the music was beyond great, the audience was incredibly pumped, and after the sun went down, it was freezing?—?my hands stopped working! During a few acts, my visibility was limited because folks backstage were crowding to watch the performers. The energy was infectious. In the current political climate, we need to express more unity and less hatred.
This was the first time I have had the opportunity to live-draw a music event from the stage, and it was thrilling. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I only wish I could have drawn more!
