  did barack write back yet ??? :):)
i'm so glad you wrote him -- even with all the rampant discontent, it's really
  good to hear that people are engaging w/the white house again.  i really 
  think
  that, although it'll take a while, things will be okay again.  i don't 
  believe
  we'll ever be able to "go back" -- since the world has changed, and continues
  to change, so dramatically -- but i think we're FINALLY on the right track,
  with quite the "runner" representing us on it (thank God).  do you see some
  light at the end of the tunnel somewhere w/your work situation?

i really like your co-housing idea...i've been thinking about it ever since you
  guys told me about what you're wanting to do. i believe it's definitly the 
  way
  of the future, and sooooo so smart.  man, i really wish you guys could move
  HERE --- we could do a beautiful place!!!  (there is this great deal [600k] 
  on
  a 4-lot property up here: 2 houses, 2 cabins, and 10 or 11 studios -- plus a
  gorgeous frikkin' pool, a large, screened-in jacuzzi, and some ridge-line
  views of Lily Rock.  I mean, my GOD almighty.  it's the-inn-formerly-known-as
  Fern Valley Inn, and the owner pretty much had to walk away from it after his
  divorce in order to be near his kids.  I get that it's tricky for
  inn-situations right now - especially for that one, as it's in a higher-end
  residential area a mile or so from town so potential customers never see it
  unless they're lost or specifically looking for it, but hot-DAMN it would be 
  a
  gRRRReat co-housing setup. (so, juuuust in case, i
  keep buying my weekly lotto tickets :):)!!!

how did the overall visit go w/chris & marnie? were you and robert able to take
  some time off from work and do some gang-activities around SJ / SF ??
