Blogging break - Death in the family
June 16, 2007 at 3:39 pm (blog, family, self-involved blather)
I was planning to write up some posts this weekend — I’ve had some great conversations with people about strategy and politics in activism — but yesterday my eldest uncle died.
He was quite ill, and old. My mother didn’t get a chance to see him one last time before he passed away, although she and her brothers and sisters were starting to plan a trip to see him when we were in India earlier this year. And now she’s here without them to support her, which is hard.
This is one of the big reasons why I don’t like it here.
I’m also sick, damp, and cold, and I have a whole lot of assessment work to do. So I’ll have to put off blogging for a little while longer while I knuckle down and try to concentrate on getting things done offline.
The Carnival of Radical Action will still happen — please promote it widely and get your thoughts together for submissions — but not much else until then.
My apologies.

Be gentle with yourself, Fire Fly, it sounds like you’ve had a lot of pretty full-on stuff on. Hope offline settles down soon.

FF,
Take warmth and drink lots of liquids to rejuvenate.
Sending some healing power your way…
