4. That is so nice.

Thank you! It truly means a lot to me.

I'm pretty excited: in recent days, I've stepped up work in preparing the team that I'll be operating with, on my "come back" to grass roots social-political activity. Even in terms of the people that I've met with today, I have to say that I feel very confident. It is, as I was hoping to express in the OP, part of an on-going process. An evolution.

For what ever reason, a solid group of old and new friends and associates are dedicated to backing me in the things that we are planning. And while my/our efforts are "small stuff" -- and perhaps not that significant in and of themselves -- I believe that they are part of the bigger whole .....and in that sense, important.

A friend who just left my house (his daughter and my youngest are close friends, and hang out together all the time) is a doctor/ university professor. In the past three evenings, we've focused a lot of attention on communications ....how to present topics in a friendly manner, that most everyone can understand and process ....and identify what role they can play in improving the local community - state - nation.

I'm ready! I feel, in a strange way, like I used to feel, long, long ago, as I was in the final couple weeks of training camp, before a big boxing match. Ha! Heck of a thing for an old man to say, eh?

Again, I always appreciate your contributions on this forum.
