This morning we got up a little late. We called Alex Roesch, who is Amy's friend who flies cargo planes. (Today he goes to Nome and somewhere else, I forget). We met him for breakfast before he heads out. Alex flies old cargo planes, like from the 40's. He loves it. He's also serious about learning guitar. And he's an artist. We talked about flying and music and the coffee delivery business he's trying to get started.
After breakfast we walked around downtown, bought some wool (kiviat) made by a cooperative of native villages from musk ox hair. It's supposed to be 5 times as warm as other wool. I'm taking it to Mom to see what she wants to do with it.
We went to REI to look for socks and gloves for Amy, but she didn't find what she wanted. We came on home to check whether Gmail Chat works on Macintosh, and once we were sure it would, we went back out: to the Mall, which is six stories tall around an ice-skating rink, and then to CompUSA to buy a computer, which we didn't buy but instead came home and ordered online. Wheeee!!
Supper of more asparagus & noodles, then over to Jenny's house for a piano lesson. She's a really nice, comfortable person, and I would have liked to get to know her, but if we started talking there wouldn't have been any piano lesson. While they played piano, I walked in her "back yard," a long path around a frozen lake, which I could only go about a fourth of the way around. Then I went with Amy to choir practice at St. Patrick's church. She works with the children's choir, which is preparing for Easter.
Home again, Amy is knitting while I write. We might watch a movie or something. maybe.

"It is necessary for us to realize that we have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights. When you deal with human rights you are not dealing with something clearly defined in the Constitution. They are rights that are clearly defined by the mandates of a humanitarian concern."
