I agree that too much energy has been spent on getting these guys the way they SHOULD be gotten and I’m just glad to see him gone already. I’ve been reading about his puppetry in the Don Siegelman conviction and hope that he’s had his hand in the pot too visibly, but only time will tell, in the meantime, BU-BYE!
Now that I’m home and ready to work on my life again – China was great but it’s so good to be back – I’ve got some new perspective and it is thrilling. I’m really excited (pardon my vagueness for a while) to balance the taking with the giving in a new situation which has developed only very recently. But it will take all of my focus and energy to take just as much as I give or even less. Balance, baby, balance.
