Closer, World Series 2012, last out. |
During the parade in San Francisco to celebrate the World Series win in 2012, Sergio wore a notable tee shirt to emphasize his belief that all kids deserve a chance and to make a strike again stereotyping.

Making a statement during the World Series celebration in San Francisco, 2012. |
Sergio is devoted to his family and in the following video he states:
“I’m first-generation Mexican-American. Both of my parents were born in Mexico. My dad always spoke of the American dream as a man hard working, earning his keep, being able to take care of his family in a respectful manner.”
Romo is standing proud with the Dream is Now Campaign
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fG1U2dKoXQ
Sergio also says, "When I hear of a student being undocumented, I take it as kids going to school, they're just trying to learn and get better, so I don't find anything negative in that." He signs off with, "I"m Sergio Romo, pitcher of the world champion San Francisco Giants. Today I'm standing proud with the Dream is Now campaign, because I strongly believe that there should be a pathway for approximately 2 million undocumented students to earn their United States citizenship, so that they can lead a productive life and give back to the only country they know as home. They deserve a chance to live their dream, and we will all win if they do."
Sergio has also been invited to use his notoriety in ice cream.

Synopsis
At a public school in Newark, N.J., the staff answers the phone by saying, "You've reached John F. Kennedy High School, Newark's best-kept secret." JFK provides an exceptional environment for students with special-education needs. In Best Kept Secret, Janet Mino, who has taught a class of young men for four years, is on an urgent mission. She races against the clock as graduation approaches for her severely autistic minority students. Once they graduate and leave the security of this nurturing place, their options for living independently will be few. Mino must help them find the means to support themselves before they "age out" of the system. (90 minutes)MzTeachuh: Music that Makes You Smarter

Vincent's Welcome
![]() |
Sunflowers, 1888, Vincent Van Gogh |
Info from the British National Gallery:
This is one of four paintings of sunflowers dating from August and September 1888. Van Gogh intended to decorate Gauguin's room with these paintings in the so-called Yellow House that he rented in Arles in the South of France. He and Gauguin worked there together between October and December 1888.
Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in August 1888, 'I am hard at it, painting with the enthusiasm of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won't surprise you when you know that what I'm at is the painting of some sunflowers. If I carry out this idea there will be a dozen panels. So the whole thing will be a symphony in blue and yellow. I am working at it every morning from sunrise on, for the flowers fade so quickly. I am now on the fourth picture of sunflowers. This fourth one is a bunch of 14 flowers ... it gives a singular effect.'
The dying flowers are built up with thick brushstrokes (impasto). The impasto evokes the texture of the seed-heads. Van Gogh produced a replica of this painting in January 1889, and perhaps another one later in the year. The various versions and replicas remain much debated among Van Gogh scholars.

To see this painting in person is a remarkable experience; it has a presence, like a friend happy to see you.

Here is a lesser known poem by Poe; what a cry for help.
By Edgar Allan PoeA Dream Within a Dream
![]() |
Edgar Allan Poe |
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Here are a few poems from the Poetry Foundation, just the beginnings, that I especially enjoyed. Be sure to check out the rest.Rosh Hashanah
To Him Who Is Feared
by Eleazar ben Kalir
To Him who is feared a Crown will I bring.
Thrice Holy each day acclaim Him my King;
At altars, ye mighty, proclaim loud His praise, . . .
The New YearThrice Holy each day acclaim Him my King;
At altars, ye mighty, proclaim loud His praise, . . .
by Emma Lazarus
Not while the snow-shroud round dead earth is rolled,
And naked branches point to frozen skies.
When orchards burn their lamps of fiery gold, . . .
The AlphabetAnd naked branches point to frozen skies.
When orchards burn their lamps of fiery gold, . . .
by Karl Shapiro
The letters of the Jews as strict as flames
Or little terrible flowers lean
Stubbornly upwards through the perfect ages, . . .
Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur 1984
by Adrienne Rich
What is a Jew in solitude?
What would it mean not to feel lonely or afraid . . .
by Solomon Ephraim Ben Aaron of Lenczicz
These things I do remember; O I pour
My soul out for them. All the ages long
Hatred pursueth us; through all the years . . .
Open the GatesMy soul out for them. All the ages long
Hatred pursueth us; through all the years . . .
by Anonymous
Open the gates—the gates of the Temple,
Swift to Thy sons, who Thy truths have displayed.
. . .
His SovereigntySwift to Thy sons, who Thy truths have displayed.
. . .
by Kalonymos ben Moses of Lucca
His sovereignty is o’er my gathered throng;
His glory is my faith within,
I seek Him for atonement of my sin— . . .
For We Are Thy PeopleHis glory is my faith within,
I seek Him for atonement of my sin— . . .
by Anonymous
For we are thy people, and thou art our God;
We are thy children and thou our father.
We are thy servants, and thou art our master; . . .
The AlphabetWe are thy children and thou our father.
We are thy servants, and thou art our master; . . .
by Karl Shapiro
The letters of the Jews as strict as flames
Or little terrible flowers lean
Stubbornly upwards through the perfect ages, . . .
