I do need to post more often so my loyal readers know what us happening in the sticks. First of all a bit of excitement when we returned to the Cleveland airport from visiting in California. We had parked our car at a motel, that allows you to do so for $4.50 a day. They have a shuttle to and from the airport. When we returned I called for the shuttle, but no one answered. Finally we took a taxi to the motel. We mentioned to the driver that we could not get hold of the shuttle. He informed us that the police had shut down the motel because of drug trafficking and prostitution there. It had happened a day after we left. Needless to say, we were wondering where our car would be. The parking lot had about a dozen cars in it, including ours and a police vehicle. So it ended fine for us.
This week I saw the movie, "The Race" about Jessie Owens. Key issues were the rise of the Nazis in Germany and racism in the US. Then I attended the script club by the Cleveland Playhouse where the topic of the play was the Child Protection system, and finally last night attended a program for Black History Month. The speakers there were from the Cleveland YWCA. They demonstrated a program they use to bring racial bias to one's consciousness. This round able type discussion is offered to businesses and government departments including law enforcement. So a week of heavy issues, but it was great in that it stretches my thinking.

You definitely were engaged for black history month!! I'm glad your car was ok!
Any that is stretching the mind as we get older is good. I see too many of my peers that are doing anything but that.
