Mercer Island

This past weekend, I spent a shabat in Mercer Island. It was very nice. The hosts were good and Shevet Achim is a nice synagogue. It would be nice to go there again, but given my schedule, that may take a while to get there, as I have other commitments in Seward Park and First Hill.

Yesterday, I spent an hour and a half in Mercer Island at the Summer Celebration handing out brochures for Susan Hutchison, former KIRO TV anchor, who's running for King County Executive. I hope that she wins because she seems to have a grasp on the issues and is the most qualified candidate. While we can't get Sarah Palin, Susan Hutchinson may be the woman with the most gravitas in this state. It was great to have met Reverend Wayne Perryman, an African-American pastor in the Seattle area who is friends with Pastor Ken Hutcherson, former NFL player. I purchased Rev. Perryman's CD on the historical legacy of both political parties on race. Very powerful and worth listening to, in my humble opinion.
