A Pink Dinner

We had dinner at Natalie and Ben’s this evening, a small get-together to start organizing the next efforts of the Davis group of Code Pink. This will be a campaign to bring home the state National Guard from Iraq, a movement that has started especially in the Pacific Northwest, where the National Guard always plays an important role in summer forest fire control.

I have done nothing remotely activist since the elections, which surely sent a lot of us into deep torpor. Thankfully, there are those who have been carrying on the good work all along, and we left a bit more inspired, not to mention delighted to have met Natalie and Ben’s two new year-old kitties, who even have their very own scratching post trimmed in pink.
