Nancy Dawley sends this:
Don¹t believe the media hype--the confirmation of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court is not set in stone. Help build Senate opposition to Alito by calling your Senators.
Call your senators TODAY: tellthem that Samuel Alito is the wrong choice for the Supreme Court and thatthey need to use any means possible to stop his confirmation. You can reach the Senate Switchboard at 877-851-6437 and ask for the Senator you want to leave a message for. They will connect you.
Don't wait until it is too late.Ellen, this is amazing. <http://www.odod.state.oh.us/cdd/oee/elfgrant.htm>

Painting Exposition at the Weston Art Gallery, at the Aronoff

"In the Spaces We Talk"
Show Continues through March 26
I was thrilled to attend the opening on Friday 1/27. Don't miss thisshow! Very large canvases, earth tones, subtle, vague human figures glowingwith meaning(s). Powerful. My take is that it is all about people communicating/ unable to communicate with each other; miscommunication; malcommunication;conjunction. Deeply affecting. We are so lucky to have Yvonne in the U.S.,in Cincinnati ... in Clifton! At the Salon. E.
