Teach In Day at Green Mountain...


...forgot their names...but the speakers represented (from left to right), the poetry of Islam, a physisist from the University of Michigan who was debunking the oil and Iraq myths elaborated by the Bushies, and the former UN Ambassaodor from Iran who entranced us all with his stories of Iran that are completely counter to what you hear from the White House and the Fox Newsies! Iran wants to have peace, they've been continually rejected by GW and crew, presumably as a pretext to invasion? Sick!


Happy Mothers Day to All from Buffy and her new kids at the Birdhouse Inn!


What should we name the three kids?


Let us know!!!
