It’s been a crazy month. We got caught up with the blogging – but those of you who subscribe via email won’t receive any notification of the updates as I postdated them all to their proper days. So this post will serve as a notification that we are caught up and an inventory of the new posts for the email subscribers.

Technical Difficulties?
We interrupt our normal posting with this message. We have changed our permalinks structure. Looking at our logs, it came to our attention that we have been generating a few more Code 404 Errors than normal. This is most likely due to our protocol of blogging everything on weekends, leaving it for the overnight Feedblitz service to pick it up for people who subscribe by email, then editing the dates of the posts to the “right” dates. (We are a sequential couple, and prefer the posts’ dates to be a reflection of when the activity or photo actually took place – not when we had time to write about it.) Editing the dates was changing the permalink. While the Feedblitz subscribers were notified of new posts, the links provided were no longer working. I think our new structure should take care of the issue.
Please let us know if you are getting any errors though.

Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)
For MLK Day.
An excerpt from Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)
“… time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively. I am coming to feel that the people of ill-will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the social rock of human dignity.”
