(Community Matters) The Anti-Defamation League has recently issued a report, “The Aryan Circle: Crime in the Name of Hate,” the site here, the full report here.

ADL’s website detailing its initiatives in this arena

I had breakfast this morning with ADL’s Southwest Regional Director Martin Cominsky and national Associate Director, Bob Wolfson.  Sorry to have missed yesterday’s strategic planning retreat for our region.  Good to be caught up on the good work nationally and regionally.

(Community Matters) Suppose our brief plan for a day trip to DC for this afternoon’s White House Christmas party wouldn’t have worked after all.  Hoping our friends arrived in DC before the airports were closed and are able to make it – from Austin, I think the Rudys, Wesners,  Merediths & Neelands

They only agreed to pose for this pic because they were being extra sweet hoping I’d let them open their Christmas gifts early (I overheard Eli tell Paulina to they had to be extra nice for this reason).  Alas, their loyalty to their dad’s school (their uncle’s too) is fun, but I fear it’ll limit their options as young adults
