A year older, an iota wiser?

Bah. Probably not. Just older.

Saturday was fun in an exhausting kind of way. Many singing gigs but it gave me the chance to spend a lot of time with people I think are awesome. This group I sing with, these women, are so incredible. Mostly I don't understand how I can be a part of it. One of those "sum is so WAY much greater than its parts" things.

Shortie today.

BOOKS I'M READING:
Savage Inequalities, Jonathan Kozol. An oldie (well, only 1991) but a goodie about race, class and education in the US.

The most boring marketing tome I've met in a while -- about email marketing metrics. bleccchhhh. that one's for work.

COOL SITE:
Black Commentator, who describe themselves as "Commentary, analysis and investigation on issues concerning African Americans." I listen to Glen Ford's radio broadcasts on KPFK, which is how I heard about his site. Black Commentator is interesting, thoughtful, and not light reading but excellent!

I read Savage Inequalities at least 3 different times in college.

I savor Kozol's works; they are amazing.
