Here I am

Quote of the day:
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
(Susan sent this quote to me yesterday. She said it is from Clinton after leaving Washington)
And here I am.
Mira took this photograph last month after I had bought this doll in the exhibits hall. She sent this photograph to me a couple of days ago. Some of you might remember my love of dolls? Oops … can you see my buttons? Click on the picture to enlarge. We had just spent some time at the Syracuse Cultural Workers booth too. One of our favorite places. Mira is one of the truest activist I know.

I wonder what is kewpie, Fran? I’ll look it up on the world wide web!
Smiles.
I love this doll, but I’m a kewpie collector myself–who is just divesting her collection on eBay. I’m glad I enlarged your photo ’cause then I saw your buttons. Way to go!
Hello there Patry, Lovely to hear from you again.
Joy, what a great idea. Most of my dolls are at work so one of these days I’ll get them together and take a picture!
That’s a great picture or you Tamar. You should post pics of your doll collection sometime…I’d love to see it.
Someone sent me the same great quote a couple of years ago. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Tamar, Thanks for this. I looked it up and indeed you are right! Here is some information I found: “Philo (20 BCE – 40 CE), known also as Philo of Alexandria and as Philo Judeaus, was a Hellenized Jewish philosopher born in Alexandria, Egypt.”
i love the quote that i have attributed all these years to philo, first century Jewish historian. bill clinton is highly educated, and probably well read in the “ancients.”
I did not notice if anyone stared, Winston. Well, there were about 20,000 other early childhood professionals on the streets and surrounding the convention center. So maybe that’s why.
Smiles.
Great quote and thought…
Did you get any odd stares? White woman walking around cuddling black baby doll while wearing an “Impeach” button… An interesting juxtaposition to spawn speculation and stories back home…
