Today is Saint Dymphna's Day. It is also Straw Hat Day and Wavey Gravy's birthday. Ralph Steadman, one of my favorite artists, shares this birthday. It is also International Concientious Objectors' Day. I asked the younger daughter if they observed it at her school, after I explained that C.O's usta get jailed for refusing to bear arms. My mother's first husband was interred under wretched conditions in the Dakotas during the second world war for choosing not to fight and had to find his way back to New York on his own, when released.
