Right. There’s still war, famine, starvation, natural disasters, homelessness, disease … and people are freaked out knowing Zoe Saldana’s weight. On its June cover, the magazine used the headline “Zoe Saldana: 115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache,” for a story on Saldana. Some people were upset at the magazine’s revelation, as if it was some sort of state secret. Others thought that saying how much the very-thin, 34-year-old Saldana weighs might be sending girls the wrong message about body weight. Others thought … I’m not sure. I don’t get any of this.

And then before you know it, you’re blubbering goodbye to them in front of their freshman dorms. Congratulations and condolences. How did we do as parents? We probably could have done better. The piano lessons were a bit of a flop, and their rooms were usually pretty disgusting. But people seem to like our kids, we like our kids and they like each other. They’re happy, healthy and have good senses of humor. We’re proud of the young adults they’ve become. So maybe we didn’t do too badly. One thing’s for sure, having them is the best thing we ever did.

I have begun to see the Alameda Food Bank not so much as a lone entity that gives food, but a broad-based organization that facilitates our community’s efforts to ensure more Alamedans have enough (or at least do go without). This is especially true over the holidays. Something truly to be grateful for. Extra big thanks go out to everyone who donated to this effort: Julie VanBuhler, Ginnie Chambre, Kathy Moehring, Irene Kudarauskas, Carol Ginn, Jo-Lynne Lee, Marie Gilmore, Ro Shook and Cyndy Wasko.
