watching me watching you

Big new things coming.

I have two full days and maybe one half day left at work.

Then official retirement.

To say JoJo and I are looking forward to this

change would be beyond an understatement.

Finally, after more than 50 years, we have stopped being insane 
over revolutionary socialism and Fidel in Cuba.

Took a while.........

I've memories of Fidel, Che and their revolution's delegation

coming to the US in the early 60's to speak at the UN.

This was before they announced themselves as communists and

after the revolution was successful.

I remember being fascinated at photo's of them in the NY Daily news in fatigues,

long hair, beards wearing berets, smoking cigars and flourishing sidearms.

Combat boots up on coffee tables at the UN.

I had never seen people as true and honest before or since!

Even at 8 or 9 years old, I knew these were people that did things.

Who wanted to change the world.

Not just talk.

They managed to survive all this time against everything we threw against them.

Worked the world their own way.

I still keep a framed,  photo of Che hanging  in my nerd cave.

Time does strange things however:

Radio Havana Cuba will wind up totally sucking 

 playing Britney Spears rather than 

giving the Island agricultural reports,

and news of projects and production for the people.

It was reassuring to have one, last, remaining revolutionary

shortwave radio station out there still broadcasting !

In many ways for just me,

just for what i remember, what i admired and respected,

I wish nothing would change.

A stupid thing to say, I know, but still----

Season 2 on DVD---Excellent !

Just received not started yet.

are a great annoyance
