Anderson and Angelina

I've got some issues with Angelina Jolie, that I admit, but I was very impressed with the dedication and humanity she showed in her interview with Anderson. As I watched, I realized that it's the message that is important, not the messenger. And the message got through loud and clear. To paraphrase Anderson's blog 'we need to walk the walk, not just talk the talk'. So with that in mind I am including the information on where to contribute and hope that those of you who can, will. Here's the link to UNHCR.

I don't think that I've ever blogged about my trip to Africa. Tonight, listening to AC and Angelina, brought back some memories. We landed at a fairly modern airport, complete with baggage carousel. When the baggage started to tumble down the ramp it was easy to find our matched set of Samsonite. We were the only ones with luggage, everyone else had bedrolls that contained their clothes. It was quite the culture shock. We were in northern Africa. It's much safer there, with less poverty than the Congo or Darfur, but it's still a world away, both literally and figuratively, from our lives in the United States. One of these days I'm going to dig out our pictures with the camels we rode. Our camel experience was very similar to the one Anderson mentioned after his recent vacation to Morocco.

Reminder for Wednesday, June 20th:
Anderson is scheduled to appear on

Good Morning America (ABC 7 to 9 AM)
