so tired today, so thankful for the mellow old sun, i rest my face in the shadow of his face. 

the review by the federal board on the obama plan to take over jackson park started today. the director of the olmsted organization came for a meeting and was encouraging. he said they would be behind us but that the thing really hinges on the community. if the community rises to the occasion we can possibly save our park. this is heartening, it's good to know it isn't up to the rahm and his city hall, because we know then it would sure as hell be a done deal.
