As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill.
So my body leaves no scar
On you, nor ever will.

When wind and hawl encounter,
What remains to keep?
So you and I encounter
Then turn, then fall to sleep.

As many nights endure
Without a moon or star,
So will we endure
When one is gone and far.
                       -Leonard Cohen-

I'll be out of touch for an undefined while.  It's time to focus on my family and some other aspects of my life that I have been neglecting.  However, I know that this is a particularly hard time of year for many of you out there and I'm available by cell phone 760 470-7098 for anyone who needs to talk to someone who won't say, "Merry Christmas....Happy Holidays....etc...."  Please everyone take good care until the madness is over.

Or, as the first President put it:

"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation."

George Washington (1732 - 1799)

Good luck getting back to what's important....if you choose to come back to us....post here....we'll miss you....I hope you find happiness wherever your path leads....
