Once more.

There are two reasons why in America  some  people want to legalize drugs.

1. To crack down on crime:

Mexico has long struggled with violent conflict from drug cartels.

2. For medicinal purposes:

“Cannabis might not cure me of my cancer or lupus but at least it alleviates the pain. And that’s all I’m asking.”

Do you remember how Romeo and Juliet fretted about whether the bird that they heard was a lark that sings at dawn giving them no more time together or a nightingale that sings at night?

With a salute to Shakespeare this is our party invitation.

'To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. 

Then and only then, does it come into existence.'  Oscar Wilde

Mirar una cosa es muy diferente a ver una cosa. Uno no ve algo hasta que no ve su belleza.

ASEDOW 2016

Off we go.
We have handed in our three proposals for 2016

First, a visit to European Capital 2016 San Sebastian/ Donostia .
We don't have a word for convivencia in English but the plan is to use our English ( and Spanish, as we wish,)  on the journey. We are heading to San Sebastian for our first ever away trip because it has the same namesake as our town, San Sebastián De Los Reyes. We look forward to visiting this beautiful city, see its renowned beaches, taste the world famous pintxos and enjoy the 2016 celebration of Art and Culture.

Also 'in the inkwell '/en el tintero, a favourite expression in Spanish, is our 2016 exciting, versatile, and fabulous story competition .This year it will be open to adults.

Finally a family outing to the theatre at Christmas with tickets at half price for members.


 

But he also said that, 'The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes.'
