extraordinary human being. I have great respect for him. So it was very nice to see coverage of his meeting with Bernie Sanders.

I've been doing okay .....better when I sit out at my pond! An interesting note: my high school class will be holding a reunion weekend this summer. While one group will be playing golf at the local "country club," a diverse group is planning a sweat lodge ceremony here. In my opinion, for what it's worth, it'll be the principled classmates at ceremony. (grin) What is interesting is that this includes folks who have never done ceremony before .....mostly christians, but some others, as well ......including a lot of people (mostly female) who are respected professionals in their community. But they are awakening, and looking for something that has been corrupted by our system.

I also started a blog this month .....a fair amount of overlap with the things I post here. But if you or anyone else is interested, I'd share the link with you.

Keep in touch!
