in this case, it is post-sabbath we are preparing for – getting to the heart of the city before the traffic makes it essential to have a strategy, to leave early enough, and to plan an escape route.  Our energies are limited and our standing ability is even more limited.  And yet the hostile takeover of the courts makes opposition imperative.  Even the university administration has sanctioned political opposition.

we usually entertain the vast family for lunch on Saturday – a lunch that lasts from 1-5,  So then we’ll wait in town until it’s completely all over and we can get back.  

Unless we chicken out.

We plan and we plan but we fear to enact our plans. 

Time to cook.
