Journal of today’s activities:

This morning I drove to Santa Rosa to meet with a journalist from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. She is writing a story on innovative violence prevention initiatives and she wanted to speak with me about the work Justin Paperny and I are doing with our foundation. I spent two hours with her and helped her understand our vision. We believe that we add values to organizations with a commitment to community renewal. Next month I’ll meet with the gang task force of Santa Rosa, and I’ll make a pitch of how our work can contribute. Following that meeting I returned to my office at home and began writing out the PowerPoint that will guide my lecture tomorrow at San Francisco State University. I was so busy that I wasn’t able to run.
