NO to shutting down ERT!

A moving final performance by the Greek National Broadcasting (ERT) Symphony and Choir on the night of June 14th, 2013, the fourth day since the greek government decided without warning to shut down the national broadcasting television and radio (including the symphony and choir among them). The government literally pulled the plug in a matter of hours.

3000 working people suddenly left without work and a nation without its own public broadcaster! Greeks abroad lost their satellite connections with the greek public broadcaster.

The reaction to this unjust and unacceptable move on the part of the greek government has been overwhelming. European and worldwide solidarity pouring in. Greek citizens standing watch outside the ERT station so that the journalists, directors etc can keep broadcasting via internet 24 hours a day.

According to Mom, when March 16, 1966 strode in, ~12:15-12:30 a.m. I strode in with it and I came out without much of a bother [her words].

It seems character sets in from the womb because my life's motto has been not to step on any toes or be bothersome to others.

Here's to some more twisting and climbing until 46.

Twenty three going on sixty.

Yesterday was our 23rd wedding anniversary. I asked Husband if he felt, like me, that we've been together for more than 23 years. He agreed.

We're glad we chose each other as traveling companions down life's journey.
Here's to another 23.

p.s. Inside family fact: Saturday, March 5 1988. The only time Husband ever wore a tie. Our wedding.
