Grady, I know from talking with Renee - she's back as of last night - that you would be flying kites from the roof of the Port Authority today. True? Now that should be a story to tell!

At the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society we have a wonderful woman serving us as Interim Minister for the two years we will spend searching for whomever will become our next settled minister. I can't help but mention this because it is so important to me. This morning was the second Sunday she has led our worship service. She has won hearts and minds in a remarkable way. We are now concerned about how to part with her when she moves on two years from now!

I am making hours of phone calls in support of the Peter Shumlin for Governor campaign. All you Vermont voters take note. If you think you will have trouble getting to the polls, let me know. I can apply for an absentee ballot for you. Come to think of it, Cailin - send me you mailing address in Norwich. I bet you can vote from there!
