Comment on Shades of Gray by Laura

I couldn’t agree more! I was thinking about this last night when I watched Obama’s conference on health care reform…I’m not used to a person who can actually be respectful, wise, open-minded, kind, and yet wholly decisive. Hopefully this marks some sort of change in our fundamentalist, absolutist ways.

As for all this “right/wrong” hubalub, I blame it on the Puritans. When Britain divided and Canada got the french, Aus got the criminals, and we got the Puritans, I would have given anything to have been able to lay down roots north of the border.

You are ABSOLUTELY 100% right about this.

It really was great to stay with you guys. And Nina was very charming (which is saying a lot, because I don’t take to all dogs easily). Thanks a lot for your hospitality and generosity. Have a fabulous new year!

Correction: you were wonderful hosts. Thank you so much for letting us stay and being so nice to Ross. Meeting the fam is always stressful, and you guys were wonderful. He really liked you both, too. He even liked Nina. And (the short sentence parade marches on: can you tell I’m tired?) your house is beautiful.

Love you guys. Can’t wait to see you again!

Hi Pete, this is Kyle. We were in the 1988 CU marching band together. I played the tenor sax and graduated in 1992. I believe you played the clarinet. Do you remember me? I could send you a pic of me if you would like just to jostle your memory.

It looks like you are doing well in SF. I have enoyed your 1988 videos so much I am wondering if you would be able to share the actual file to myself so I could have it too in my records. Unfortunately, I don’t have any videos of the Garden Barfola Mulching Bland (LOL). It would be great if you could forward both the pre-game and Disney half time performances. I would appreciate it very much.

I don’t think you can directly download videos from YouTube….maybe you can but it is smarter than I.

Hope to hear from you!

Kyle

Comment on How do we move on? by troy

I’ve watched as many of my friends got married these last few months. Most were small, personal ceremonies. Although I could not share the moments with them, I have been struck by the many ways they have shared their love and commitment to each other with their friends and “family”. I get the feeling some were apprehensive about making too much of a big deal about it all (cause it may all go away?), but at the same time screamed their excitement and optimism and love to all. This is what we’re fighting for: DO IT! LOVE IT! SHOUT IT TO THE MOUNTAIN TOPS! REVEL IN JOY! SHARE IT WITH US ALL! TELL US ABOUT IT! Go for it.

thanks for putting into words some thoughts that have been too tough for me to articulate. I know tomorrow we start again, but today I’m just too exhausted.

best,
