Saw Bill Moyers at the Union Square Barnes & Noble. I totally didn’t know that he was going to be there — I had intended to rendevous with P– because she forgot her cell phone. However, he had just read part of his new book, Moyers on America: A Journalist and His Times. We decided to get books signed. I didn’t know initially what to say to him, but then I recalled his Becoming American series, and I knew that I had to thank him for that, and also for the pivotal role he had in the passing of the 1965 Immigration Act. I wouldn’t be here if my parents weren’t able to come to this country, and I’m sure that is true of many others. Moyers retires this year, and this caps off his tour of the Three Estates. Thanks for everything.

Cousins
Quick posts: it’s really easy to engage in inertia when you’re still jet lagged after 5 days. But that will be for later on.
My cousins from Toronto are in town through the 4th of July. However, they have no idea what they want to do.
Spent the day yesterday at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick. Very nice facility in the middle of nowhere. My ride woke me up at 6:30 in the morning –yuck. Met the incoming president of the ABA; very nice guy.
More pics later on today — have to put on a pot roast for the group family dinner tonight.
The Longest Day
Some pics to tide you over until I can get a proper entry filed for the trip — finally got the Internet working in the hotel. This was the longest day, though — in British Columbia, dawn broke at about 5 am and dusk was at 10 pm. Saw the dragon boat races, visited Chinatown’s night market, and toured the Canada Center. And, by the way Seattle, all is forgiven.
