Got home, after a few errands, in time to leave for a hair appointment. Then had one hour before I took off for MN for a Chantecaille facial (divine!). Picked up a pizza on the way home, ate, and went to bed. That was an action-packed Saturday withoutCharlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-77079838595957608852013-12-08T12:55:49.185-05:002013-12-08T12:55:49.185-05:00Hi CG, We could set our clocks by your blog posts ...Hi CG, We could set our clocks by your blog posts so when you miss one it's a red flag!

I am South African and here we are very much aware, as stated by ex-Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu (another great man) that all the years in prison changed Mandela, whereby he no longer advocated violence as a means to an end, he had matured spiritually and chose to do things differently for the greater good of us all who live here.

I called my mom after I heard that Mandela died and she, admitting that she didn't follow the struggle against apartheid as it was happening, asked me how I first learned about Nelson Mandela. The question floored me: it's like asking how I learned about George Washington or Mother Teresa.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070064490812329653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-10676872422514564472013-12-06T16:43:03.629-05:002013-12-06T16:43:03.629-05:00Finally a place I can say. . . . did anyone elso f...Finally a place I can say. . . . did anyone elso find it annoying that Brian Williams (who I generally adore) kept saying that the 95 year old Mandela's death was shocking???? He reported himself that most the pat 12 months was spent in the hospital and or on the ventilator. His lack of, and inadequate vocabulary was so disappointing and distracting. His death was not shocking.

He was a communist, pled guilty to over 150 acts of violence (including a bombing) and was associated with a group declared a terrorist group by the US. Yet he fought for freedom and endured great personal sacrifice for that.
