This weekend is the ArtEast Studio Tour in Northeast Dutchess county.  Pam White is part of this tour.  She will have many paintings, many new, as well as prints and photographs.  Please stop by!  Here is a link for the map of all the artists on the tour.  Pam is #13.  See you this weekend!

In 2008 I went to New Hampshire for a month to work on the Obama campaign.  I made friends, I learned a lot.  I am going back.  This falls into the category of “ride” in the title of my blog.  I am saddling up, picking up the reins.

It is important to me to show up and stand up for something that I feel to be this important.  It is important to me to walk the walk.  I have two daughters.  I am doing it for them.  I am doing it for myself as a gay woman.  I cannot bear the idea of scaling back any kind of human rights, of “othering” anyone.  I find it heinous to think of reversing the social justice gains of the past four years.  It is unimaginable to think of reversing ourselves , as women, to once again being regarded by insurance companies as being a “pre-existing condition” on the basis of having a uterus.  No thank you.

So in ten days, I will hit the road.  I will be posting from the road.  I will have stories.  Stay tuned.
