I Saw Elian
But I don't think he saw me amongst the hundreds, perhaps thousands outside his Miami family's home.
(I just arrived home tonight, after watching a film. I actually recorded an Audioblogger post from there, but it obviously didn't make it out)
I'll be blogging about that tonight, to "honour" CBS' 60 Minutes interview with the 11 year-old Elian Gonzalez on Sunday at 7 PM EDT.
I was heartsick when I heard he called Castro his friend...more later.
ADDENDUM: When I sat down to write my Elian impressions, not only of last night's broadcast, but my own recollections, I became a bit depressed. It's over and done with. If he's happy, then fine. As my mother always said, anyway, he can come back any time to find out what liberty, not just security, means. Maybe I'll write my impressions one day, but just not now.

It is depressing, and your mother is incorrect, Elian can't just come back any time and taste freedom. He is unfortunately now valuable to castro's oppressive regime and is more a prisoner than the other 11 million average Cubans.
Ay Jose. That viejo chocho can't last forever -- one day, Elian will be back in Miami, tu veras!
BTW, did you see that Delfin Gonzalez and family had made the NW Miami home into a kind of shrine to Elian?
It's a museum. How can I live in this area, and have to have 60 Minutes tell me something about the area, I never heard of here?
It reminds me of the family of MLK Jr. charging people to enter the old family digs...
Cheers,
