Know any brave women?
When Gabby Giffords took on the NRA she challenged her former colleagues in Congress to do the same, saying, “Be bold. Be courageous.” Only Giffords and those closest to her know how much guts it takes for someone whose body, speech and career were forever altered by a bullet to the brain to throw herself into the bitter debate on gun control and dare her old political pals to be brave like her.
An annual tradition: The early morning St. Patrick’s Day parade in Healdsburg
A happy horde of pre-dawn revelers chased a solo bagpiper around the Healdsburg Plaza this St. Patrick's Day, March 17. And they called it a parade. In fact, it was the official 23rd annual B&B Lounge St. Patrick's Day Parade replete with a queen, horses, dogs, green-haired Rotarians, sleepy babies, boisterous imbibers, some of Healdsburg's finest and hundreds of less-refined emerald-clothed citizenry. Coffee appeared to be the favored drink on the chilly Saturday morning, but a few pints of Guinness and Irish whiskeys were shared as well. The revelers, as has become a mischievous custom, blared horns and whistles to wake and startle the wine country guests of the plaza-side Hotel Healdsburg, who were spied in their white robes from their balconies unsure of what the street mob below was up to. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.
