(Community Matters) Yesterday while meeting with a friend, he mentioned how Paulson’s actions (and inactions) make no sense, unless things are much worse than we’re hearing.

And, today, word of US New’s lawsuit against the Fed for not disclosing recipients of a trillion in loans.

And, whispers of the demise of CitiGroup.

(Community Matters) Ironic that passage of CA’s Prop 8 may speed up the realization of marriage for same sex couples nationally?

(Community Matters) Mostly off the grid today. Preparing for an Entrepreneurs Foundation board meeting and a strategic planning retreat tomorrow. We’ve been operating off a plan adopted in 2005. We’ve done well against plan and time to reassess where we are going.

Regrettably, missed today’s Reflections and Dialogue on Philanthropy in Central Texas hosted by the Austin Community Foundation, Seton Family of Hospitals, I Live Here/I Give Here, Wells Fargo Bank, CommuniCard and Wells Fargo Bank. Sessions were led by Ken Gladish, Sylvia Acevedo, Matt Kouri and Peter Frumpkin and included Patsy Woods Martin, David Balch, David Porter, Daniel Harris, Greg Hartman, Katherine Brewer & Sue Carpenter. Amanda went in my place and says it was outstanding.

Yesterday, I hosted a meeting for the planning team for the upcoming ADL Stakeholder’s Meeting. Judy Waxman, Judy Berkow and I are chairing the Jan 22 event. Lisa Goodgame and Marcia Levy have done most of the work.

Regrettably no additional information on the inauguration yet. Promise I am mindful of those who have asked and will let them know what I learn from the Obama campaign as soon as the information is available.
