I meant to include this in the last entry, it's kind of just a random reflection

These aren't happy memories, but strawberries now cause a flood of emotion. It was the last thing I bought my Grandma, when I was desperately trying to get her to eat something. Also took some girl scouts strawberry picking when I was a camp counselor in high school. The troop was all African - American girls, and I was the only white chick there. As we drove up to the strawberry fields I remember hearing some rednecks yell at us that there weren't any watermelons there and some other racial remarks. It was really a defining moment in my life, because at that moment I had a small sense of the cruelty of hatred.
