Both this year, and my little holiday-break-from-reality, are about over. There are just a couple more days of laziness left before the whistle blows us all off to work once again on Tuesday morning. Ah, so.

I’m including a photo here that I’ve been hoping to use in an entry sometime soon, so I’ll take this opportunity to post it now. I took this shot during a peace demonstration in Portland last March, and have entitled it “On Leadership.” It seems to me that the message sums up a lot of what’s wrong with this country: from the occupant of the White House, to leaders we experience on the local level, to those in our own work organizations. Any thoughts?
