a talk she gave at the Tower Theater some years back. I've always been a fan, but walked out with a much greater respect for the breadth and depth of her life and work.

I didn't know about KOIN; that's wonderful!

It's been helpful that the storm came when I've been at home to keep the wood stove going. While the driveway has been plowed, and the path from the door shoveled, it's a long way over solid, uneven ice to get to the car, and even further to get to the barn. It's taken low 4wd to maneuver down the plowed driveway and out to the highway, where everything's been dry and clear for a week. I'm hoping that the ice will be mostly gone when I have to go back to work, since I won't see my place in daylight at all during the week.

It's easier to maneuver over the 40ish footsteps from the wood pile to safer footing when I can see where I'm putting my feet while carrying a heavy pile of wood. Other than that, though, things are good here; I hope they are with you.

We will stay strong and face 1017 together.
