    I'm grateful that our event in London went well yesterday, that I made it to get the kids on time, and that we had great food at home when I got there.

    A friend of mine sent me some excellent meditation music, and I sent him an email to say thanks.  He's going to send me more of the stuff I especially like.  Awesome!
